Housing policy:
Everyone deserves a warm, dry, affordable home that supports their well being and helps them to be part of a connected community. Successive governments have allowed speculation to drive up prices, and failed to build enough public housing, or support our community housing sector. Owning a home has become unachievable for many families, and many people who rent are forced to settle for substandard, overpriced homes.With the Green Party in Government there has been a reset to the approach to housing. We have built more public houses than any Government since the 1970s, provided wrap around support to end homelessness, introduced comprehensive rental reforms, and created a $400 million progressive homeownership scheme. We need to scale up what works, so that everyone can have a decent place to call home.
