Australia is experiencing a steadily and rapidly increasing housing crisis. Home ownership is out of reach to most. Fewer people can afford a decent rental. For almost 20 years now, the number of people who experience homelessness in Australia has been steadily increasing. Why are we here? What happened to the safety nets?
Demystifying Affordable Housing in Australia supports learners to develop a better understanding of the housing systems in Australia so that their housing justice work can be targeted and coherent. This course addresses critical questions about why the cost of housing is so high; how social, public, community, and affordable housing relate to each other; and how we might approach a future where housing is affordable.
