Mounting pressure on the Federal Government to solve the housing crisis

Mounting pressure on the Federal Government to solve the housing crisis

Send my email

With decades of surging rents and inadequate investment in new public and community housing, it’s getting harder for people relying on income support payments to find an affordable home.

A new report written by the City Futures Research Centre for the ACOSS/UNSW Poverty and Inequality Partnership with National Shelter and Mission Australia shows how the lack of investment in social and affordable housing by the Federal Government has created the current housing and rental crisis and adds to mounting pressure on the Federal Government to step in to solve it.

Can you send this housing report to your Federal MP urging them to commit to solving the national housing crisis?
