Can we solve Australia’s housing crisis? Ambitious plan launched to eradicate rental stress and lower homeless rate

Homelessness Australia has launched an ambitious plan to solve the housing crisis in Australia.

The plan would halve the number of residents experiencing rental stress within five years and end it in 10 years.

It would also halve the number of people repeatedly turning to homeless services for help.

They are calling on state and federal governments to invest in 50,000 homes a year.

This would include investing 25,000 affordable rental properties every year for low-income earners, and another 25,000 social housing properties.
