housing crisis

When sexual violence, housing insecurity and institutional neglect collide, women are too often punished instead of protected.

Shared housing is becoming a long-term reality for women seeking affordability later in life. The system hasn’t kept up with their needs.

Australia talks fairness in the Budget, but young people keep losing out without long-term thinking on housing and future planning.

Housing systems are not gender neutral, and the current crisis is exposing that reality.

Australia’s capital gains tax discount fuels the housing crisis, rewards wealthy investors and locks many women out of security. It is intergenerational and gendered unfairness.

We have drawn a poverty line into the architecture of our cities. We have made shame a design choice in our housing.

Families are losing homes, savings and security to worsening floods, while government action lags and climate risks rise.

Australia’s housing crisis is pushing women in essential jobs out of their communities and putting vital services at risk.

Eviction, job loss, the end of a relationship, illness and disability, mean many women are just one bad week away from homelessness.

It should not be such an immense struggle in this country for young women to have access to a home which is safe, secure and affordable.

Neither Labor nor the Coalition’s recently announced policies do much to address the unaffordability of housing in Australia.

Labor’s housing legislation has passed in the Senate after the Greens announced it would back the Bill it has opposed for months.
