The Ache for Home: A Plan to Address Chronic Homelessness and Housing Unaffordability in Australia
Australia has a crisis in the supply
of social and affordable housing.
This is evidenced by the hundreds
of thousands who are experiencing
homelessness, on wait-lists for
public housing, or living in severe
housing stress. Taken together, the
statistics tell us that across Australia
there are over 105,000 people
experiencing homelessness and
875,000 households experiencing
housing stress.
