Everybody's Home report reveals that despite increased support payments, low-income Australians still face severe rental stress.

A report from the housing advocacy group Everybody's Home indicates that recent increases in support payments for low-income Australians, including JobSeeker and pension benefits, have not made renting affordable. Many low-income individuals still experience severe rental stress nationwide. Advocates call for a significant boost in social housing, while some economists argue for enhanced rent assistance and increasing housing supply to meet the demand for 1.2 million new homes by 2029.
