Housing as a human right:
What the community says

Course summary

In 2023, WHGNE conducted a series of community consultations and found that locals in our region are particularly concerned about the cost-of-living crisis; a lack of affordable housing and a highly competitive private and public rental market. Locals told us that these conditions are leading to financial stress; living in inappropriate or poor-quality housing and housing insecurity, including the need to relocate from established communities and even homelessness. Through our conversations, it was revealed that many members of our community believe housing is a human right and should be available to all as a basic service to ensure people can participate fully in society.

By understanding what our community needs, we can all be better informed as we advocate for change in housing policy.
