As the cost of living climbs, many Australians are struggling to find a secure and affordable place to live. Affordable housing plays a vital role in easing that pressure.

Australia is facing a critical need for more social and affordable housing. Though these terms might be mistaken for one another, 'social housing' and 'affordable housing' are far from one and the same. If you’re looking for low–cost living, understanding these differences is key.

Social housing is government subsidised rental housing – both short term and long term. It is one form of secure and affordable housing for Australians especially those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Affordable housing developments are designed to reduce rental housing stress for key low income workers by providing homes that are close to jobs, services and transport.
The need to get housing right is front and centre - not just tackling barriers to unlocking more private housing, but increasing direct government investment in social, affordable and crisis housing.
Home in Place is urging people to sign a petition calling for MPs and political parties to make a real, long term, investment in social and affordable housing to tackle the current housing crisis.
The Annual Christmas events are one of the ways Home in Place engages with its tenants and provides an opportunity for tenants to socialise with each other. These events really bring out the best of the spirit of Christmas.
