Everybody’s Home is convening Australia’s first People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis. The national campaign was launched in 2018 by a coalition of housing, homelessness, and welfare organisations.
his Coalition of key peak bodies includes: Homelessness NSW, DV NSW, and the Community Housing Industry Association, as well as local services such as City West Housing, Common Equity NSW, and the Women’s Housing Company.
The People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis offers a platform for individuals and community members across the Inner Sydney Region to discuss the impacts of the housing crisis. These stories will be collated in front of decision-makers to ensure meaningful action is taken before the next federal election. Housing is clear to be a key federal election issue.
The Commission is co-chaired by former NSW Senator, Doug Cameron, and housing expert Prof Nicole Gurran. They will convene in-person hearings, culminating in an outcome document with recommendations.
Everybody’s Home is calling on people from all walks of life to contribute to the People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis.
