  3. Australia wide context Pressure on house prices and housing affordability is structural not cyclical Contributed to decline in home ownership amongst younger FHBs In past decade, supply has not responded adequately to meet increased demand Combined effect puts pressure on rental market with resultant high incidence of rental stress

  27. What are the key housing challenges for Australia? Declining access to home ownership for middle income households Inadequate supply of affordable and accessible housing for lower income and vulnerable households

  28. Observations • The private rental market has not produced an adequate supply of affordable rental housing for current needs. • The demand for affordable rental housing will increase in the next few decades with female headed households being particularly vulnerable. • Current initiatives to address this problem have been either cyclical (SHI) or vulnerable (NRAS).

  29. What happens when there is a shortfall?... Prices and rents increase Housing stress increases Household formation slows Household size increases Households find insecure or temporary accommodation Households become homeless…

  30. Workshop objectives • To highlight the need for expansion of affordable and accessible rental housing • To place a gender analysis of access to affordable rental housing on the agenda for government, investors and providers • To stimulate discussions on ways to address the current challenges and investment short-falls
