Voices of the Crisis - Final Report from the People’s Commission into Australia’s Housing Crisis
Material type:
TextPublication details: Australia Everybody's Home August 2024Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: The People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis set out to hear from the people most affected by the housing crisis and to recognise that they are uniquely placed to offer perspectives towards solutions. This report is based on the submissions of more than 1,500 Australians who voiced their experiences and the actions that they want government to take.
The Commission has sought to understand people’s lived experiences of hardship and housing stress, the aspects of the housing crisis that most concern them, and the impacts they feel in their own lives. Community members have been invited to provide testimony highlighting the breadth, depth and scale of this crisis from multiple viewpoints, and to offer their perspectives on what needs to change.
More people are experiencing housing stress than ever before. Over 640,000 households need social housing but cannot get it, and 122,000 people experience homelessness on any given night. The report demonstrates that market solutions to the housing crisis are insufficient, and that Australian governments cannot rely on the private market to meet diverse housing needs.
