Key Focus: A safe, secure and affordable home is the base for every other capability a person can build.
The capability gap: In Australia's Great Small Cities, housing is a justice issue. Tight rental markets, insecure tenancies and rising costs push out the people a town depends on most: young people, hidden workers, essential workers and families on low incomes. At the same time, the trades who could build and repair homes are in short supply; unsafe homes in need of repairs remain unsafe. Small builders and contractors are stretched thin, apprentices are hard to keep, and jobs wait months for the right people.
