STAR Housing Program

The STAR Program (Sustainable Tenancies At Risk) assists people living in private rental who are at risk of losing their tenancy. STAR is an early intervention program that aims to sustain tenancies and stop the cycle of homelessness. The STAR Program can support you too:

  • negotiate with your landlord or Real Estate Agent
  • understand your rights and responsibilities
  • develop your budgeting skills
  • address other issues or barriers that are impacting on your tenancy

This program operates in partnership with Beyond Housing and The Bridge Youth Services. Funding is provided by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. 

**This program is open to people of all ages within the community.

The program can provide outreach to all areas in the Goulburn, Ovens and Murray Regions.
