This Shelter Brief identifies 9 problems that need to be addressed, and 9 solutions that will encourage affordable and appropriate housing to help our cities and towns to be better places for living and working.
* Problem 1 - Declining access to homeownership
* Problem 2 - Declining supply of low-rent private rental housing
* Problem 3 - The risk of homelessness
* Problem 4 - Private renters squeezed by high rents
* Problem 5 - Aboriginal people disadvantaged in housing
* Problem 6 - A stigmatized public housing system
