Who Bears the Brunt of Australia's Housing Problem? | Michele Adair, Housing Trust
Manage episode 340139548 series 2445782
Due to rising property prices, rent hikes, plummeting vacancy rates, many Aussies are now at risk of being homeless.
Homeowners and investors may think they're immune, but are we really safe from the ripple effect?
Michele Adair, CEO of Housing Trust, joins us today to discuss the worsening housing affordability crisis... What long-term impact does this issue have on our society and how will this affect our lives–regardless if you’re a homeowner?
We also look into the pressure of rising rent on lower income households, the current situation in the Illawarra, COVID-19’s impact on homelessness as well as its correlation to our current labour crisis.
