Australia has faced a housing crisis before - and solved it. We can do it again.
In Our Place, leading policy expert Matt Lloyd-Cape cuts through the noise, showing exactly how our housing system broke. Drawing on the latest research, he reveals that although social housing tenants, renters and first-home buyers are worst affected, the whole of society suffers in a housing crisis. From the rise of far-right politics to intergenerational inequality, the housing crisis is reshaping the nation.
To solve the crisis, Lloyd-Cape argues, we need to think bigger - much bigger. Our Place shows how a bold national housing plan could:
- End homelessness by 2045
- Provide the next generation with appropriate rental standards and an affordable path to home ownership
- Create thriving urban centres away from the capital cities
- Place housing at the heart of an ambitious plan for a fairer and more prosperous Australia.
The tools are within reach. What's missing are leaders willing to rethink the economic and political assumptions that got us here.
Our Place is a powerful, solutions-focused vision for an Australia where everyone has a place to call home.
