Anti-poverty week message: reform housing system or face new wave of poverty
Housing peak National Shelter has chosen Anti-Poverty week to warn that unless Australia reforms our housing system we face a new wave of poverty.
National Shelter Chairperson Adam Farrar said that house prices and rents are stretching ordinary Australians to breaking point and far too many people are completely excluded from safe, secure and affordable housing.
