Discover the realities of Australia's housing crisis

Australia’s housing crisis is worse than most people realise. Sure, we hear about rising rents and housing shortages – but what about the hidden human cost?

Right now, thousands of Australians are living in unsafe, unaffordable or overcrowded homes. Older women are the fastest growing group facing homelessness. Families are choosing between heating and rent. Safe, affordable housing is still out of reach for thousands of working Australians. And for many women escaping violence, there’s simply nowhere safe to go.
