While
some actions have been taken in the last year by the state government
to reduce the negative effects of the housing crisis on tenants,
the overall situation has shown little improvement. TAS and
a number of other agencies have pledged their support and are
calling for national solutions for the housing affordability
crisis.
We are calling for:
More public housing
Improved rent assistance schemes
A national housing strategy
More funds for homelessness prevention, intervention &
support service
