2. Why do some people oppose affordable housing?
B. Some don’t understand why it is important…
Housing affordability is one of the most serious issues facing Sydney and many regional areas. There are very few areas in Sydney, and in an increasing number of regions, where anyone on a very low, low or moderate income can afford to rent or buy.
Understanding the relative affordability of housing in your local area, and presenting this information to decision makers and your community is an important step in building support for your development.
Highlighting the fact that people from all walks of life and diverse ages live in affordable housing is also important. Providing examples of the way that affordable housing can change lives and build communities can also help win support. You might find some of these case studies from the research useful, or you may prefer to use some of your own.
