Public housing’s failing so how do we fix it?

Abstract

This week, The World Today has been looking at the issue of public housing.

Until around the 1980s, public housing was considered a mainstream option for low incomes, but now, there’s really only enough places available for the most marginalised, such is the shortfall of public housing dwellings.

It’s widely agreed the system is broken.

There are solutions on the horizon, but they need political will and creative thinking from investors.
