"The collision between an ageing population and a housing crisis has left more
older people in Australia enduring housing insecurity and homelessness. Our
research, released today, explores how the scale of these problems among older
people has grown over the past decade.
Our report,
Ageing in a Housing Crisis, shows safe, secure and affordable
housing is increasingly beyond the reach of older people. This growing housing
insecurity is system-wide. It’s affecting hundreds of thousands of people
across all tenures, including home owners and renters.
The federal government released Australia’s first national wellbeing framework,
Measuring What Matters last month. It recognises “financial security and
access to housing” as essential for a secure, inclusive and fair society.
However, urgent policy action is needed to reshape the Australian housing
system so all older people have secure, affordable housing."
