## Resource

Emergency housing program Immediate Housing Response faces a major funding cut—$42 million slashed for 2026–27—threatening support for over 1,200 households currently finding stable housing. Despite helping thousands transition into public, private, or supported accommodation, numbers show a decline in active participants, sparking fierce political backlash. Opposition accuses the government of neglecting vulnerable communities, while officials defend the program’s success and ongoing operations. The debate over housing priorities and resource allocation is heating up in parliament. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
