A coalition of Victoriancommunity housing organisations is warning candidates not to forget thehomeless in the state election campaign.
Advocates said Victorianeeds an extra 50,000 public and community housing properties to meet demand.
They said an investmentof $200 million a year for the next two decades would be needed to bringVictoria's public housing stocks up to par with the rest of Australia.
There are now 22,000people living on the streets in Victoria and affordable housing is rare.
And there is a new classof white-collar homelessness.
"I know of peoplewho go to office jobs and would fit within the definition of homelessnessoutside of office hours," Mr Lang said.
"The only time they have access to creature comforts is within business hours."
Huge unmet demand for affordable housing
A recent housing forumwas told Victoria needs to invest in 2,000 new affordable dwellings per yearjust to catch up.
Yarra Community Housingreported a 23 per cent increase in requests for crisis accommodation in thelast financial year.
Chief executive officerRob Leslie said it costs $22,000 in Commonwealth and State funds to supportevery household squeezed out of private rental back into public housing.
"A lot of peoplefall out of homelessness, end up in the criminal justice system, they end up inprison, which is very expensive," he said.
"They end up usingacute psychiatric wards. They end up using police services, emergencyservices."
Mr Leslie said Victoriais well below the national average of 5 per cent of all housing being publicand community housing.
"We probably need50,000 properties now, to meet the unmet demand," he said.
For the past two years,Mr Lang has been paying a more sustainable 30 per cent of his income onaccommodation organised by a friend.
He called on Victorianpoliticians to commit to a policy that "envisages inclusiveness for all Victorians".
"We live inreputedly the world's most liveable city, why can't it be the world's mostliveable city for all Victorians?" he said.

近日一个维多利亚州居住组织联盟警告竞选者在洲竞选中不要忘记那些无家可归的人。
在澳大利亚维多利亚洲无家可归统计
•无家可归者在维多利亚：22000人
•政府福利房需要填补：50000间
•亚拉河区域住房需求住宿率：上升了23个百分点
•未来投资所需：在未来的20年中每年投入20亿澳币。
维多利亚居住组织联盟要求竞选者将所提议案的政策覆盖到所有澳洲人。而不仅仅是移民和建设。
我的感慨：这就是澳洲。每个在新澳洲人都知道澳洲有三宝“醉汉，胖子和苍蝇”。可以说一句毫不夸张的话。如果澳洲有100个人，那么就有101个组织去反对或者赞成澳洲的“公务员”。就像悉尼歌剧院总共耗费了14年建成。其中由于原有设计师的更改，经费筹措的问题，民间组织的抗议等一系列客观的问题而建建停停。
澳大利亚是正在将民主思想刻到骨子里的国家。由于地大物博，民族融合性复杂的因素。使它可以在合理的条件下去抨击当局的政策。如果前往澳大利亚旅行途中在洲政府，市政府的议政厅门口发现抗议者，请不要大惊小怪。这就和你在中国天天看到新闻联播歌颂party一样的正常。开个小玩笑啦~~~以下照片一张是抗议虐待羊的，一张是抗议儿童选美的~~~
