Vic homeless missing out on help

Almost 100 people are being turned away from Victorian homelessness agencies every day, according to the state's peak homelessness body.

A new government report says the growing number of people being turned away highlights the need for the National Homelessness Agreement to be extended, says Council to Homeless Persons acting CEO Sarah Toohey.

The report, released on Wednesday, shows last financial year 92 Victorians who needed accommodation and other support were turned away each day from homelessness agencies - up from 79 in 2012/2013.

"It's hugely distressing as a sector to know that we are forced to turn away nearly 100 people in need every day simply because we don't have the resources to help them," Ms Toohey said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Every major indicator points to the problem of homelessness worsening, but funding uncertainty means our agencies are fighting the battle with one hand tied behind their back."

The current National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness provides $23 million to Victoria and is due to expire on June 30.
