"Rental costs have hit record highs across Australia – in Sydney, for example,
tiny two-bedroom apartments can fetch weekly rents well beyond $700.
The housing crisis is forcing some people into an impossible choice:
homelessness or sharing not just an apartment but a bedroom with strangers.
“Hot bedding” – sharing the same beds in overcrowded rooms – has become a
common reality for some tenants.
For marginalised populations, these housing arrangements become a survival
strategy.
People living in severe overcrowding are considered to be a homeless group in
Australia.
But what happens when shared housing, marketed as an affordable solution, fails
to meet tenants’ basic needs and creates serious health and safety risks?"
