To deliver enough affordable housing and end homelessness, what must a national strategy do?

<https://theconversation.com/to-deliver-enough-affordable-housing-and-end-homelessness-what-must-a-national-strategy-do-207120>

"The Albanese government came to office promising action on housing. Its A$10
billion Housing Australia Future Fund is now stuck in the Senate, with the
Greens demanding more ambitious funding and reforms. The government is also
working on its promised National Housing and Homelessness Plan.

In research published today by the Australian Housing and Urban Research
Institute (AHURI), we make the case for a housing and homelessness strategy to
be an ambitious national project. Its central mission should be to ensure
everyone has adequate housing.

We outline the goals, scope and institutions the strategy needs to succeed. The
housing numbers it should deliver to meet demand – including 950,000 social and
affordable rental dwellings by 2041 – dwarf current government targets.

Our report draws on new thinking about the need for “mission-oriented”
governments to tackle complex problems, as well as policy-making approaches
here and overseas."
