A young Australian on Youth Allowance can't afford to rent ANYWHERE, according to this new report from Anglicare Australia. Time to #RaiseTheRate abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…

NFP community housing needs a reliable pipeline of $$ to build more homes for people who can’t afford a place to live.

Victoria has the lowest proportion of social housing in Australia.

While the Big Housing Build is delivering 9300 social homes, that's not enough.

New figures show the average Australian has to spend a third of their income to cover the median rent. For low-income earners, they have to spend half. This is unaffordable, unfair, & must change. Be part of the solution. Share your story today: everybodyshome.com.au/peoples-commis…
