Rental housing affordability crisis rages on
A new Anglicare report found most Australians are being forced out of homes as the rental housing affordability crisis rages on.
The report looked at how many properties were affordable – meaning they would require less than 30 per cent of a person’s income – for 13 different types of households.
The report found there were no rentals in the country considered affordable for a single person on the government’s youth allowance payment, which pays between $332.90 and $720.40 a fortnight in most cases.
Rev. Bill Crews speaks to Executive Director at Anglicare Australia, Kasy Chambers about the findings of the report “The Rental Affordability Snapshot.”
