Rural planning authorities largely operate according to the rationale that housing and service needs can more effectively be met in towns than in the countryside.
To truly make UK housing safe and healthful for residents, the government needs a comprehensive strategy.
Neither investors nor super funds are prepared to wear the losses needed to put low-income Australians into housing. The government should double the size of its Housing Australia Future Fund.
People wait years for social housing. In before-and-after interviews, the fortunate ones who were placed in secure, affordable housing describe the profound difference it has made in their lives.
Western Sydney residents whose homes often get hotter inside than outside during heatwaves have learnt to be resourceful in adapting to the increasing heat.
There are many strategies needed simultaneously to address housing affordability in Canada. The expansion of social housing supply is a particularly effective one.
The film is run through with an unflinching belief in the power communities wield and the tangible limits they face.
The government has made housing a federal policy priority after a decade of neglect. But the scale of the housing crisis means its actions to date are just a start – much more must be done.
Most Australians want to age at home, where they can remain connected to their communities and neighbourhoods. But what happens if you’re renting?
People age differently depending on the lives they lead. DNA testing shows every year of living in a privately rented home add 2.4 weeks of ageing compared to those who own their home.

In agreeing to pass the Housing Australia Future Fund bill the Greens have got a lot of what they wanted. Their idea of funding building and Labor’s idea of subsidising rent aren’t that far apart.

People on the general waiting list can wait a decade to be housed. Even those on the priority list may wait years. Asked how the wait affects them, their responses reveal devastating impacts.
The public might love the idea of rent control but economists warn that without better policy – and more construction – it cannot fix the housing crisis.
The strategy’s core mission should be to ensure everyone in Australia has adequate housing. That requires 950,000 social and affordable rental dwellings to be built by 2041, dwarfing current targets.
