Alison Watkins AM on HAA
Just like the provision of roads, schools and hospitals – safe, affordable and stable housing for all Australians is fundamental economic infrastructure.
Australia’s chronic shortage of affordable social and public housing is set to create an inter-generational time bomb where the future economic costs of managing the unintended consequences of homelessness, such as mental and physical health, family violence, policing, justice and long-term welfare dependency, will explode.
Our Vision
An Australia where everyone has a stable place to call home.
Our Mission
Catalyse the private sector to improve the chronic shortage of low-income, affordable housing.
Our Strategic Priorities
Pop-Up Housing
Short-term, ‘meanwhile use’ housing in underutilised buildings
Transformation
Private sector-led viable, affordable housing options
Advocacy
Communicate the long-term economic impact of not providing housing for all
