Homes For Everyone

Homes For Everyone

The Homes for Everyone initiative is driven by the desire to create change and solve housing needs by: helping our community be fully aware of the complex challenges that have caused the crisis, to provide answers and solutions to each of those causes, to have important and bold conversations, and to connect people with solutions Together we will help establish the outcomes to provide housing at all levels to end the crisis and connect people who create solutions or are in need of solutions. While this is a Sunshine Coast initiative, driven by Sunshine Coast locals, much of what we discuss here will help solve issues across state and national levels. We are bringing people together to drive the change and keep the momentum going to see real solutions achieved. We need your support to show all levels of government that we are united to find a resolution. Housing is a basic human need. This initiative is about human rights - for shelter and safety, for the confidence to be able to live where you want to live. Together we can change the narrative about what housing is. This is not about ‘affordability’ or the ‘market’, this is about human rights, social justice and a Home for Everyone Under the Sun. Show your support at www.homesforeveryone.com.au
