Join the community of people who are fighting for housing justice.
This petition will go to MPs across our state to show that the citizens of NSW see that addressing the housing crisis must be a top priority.
Affordable housing is a human right, it is an investment – not a cost. For years there has been under-investment and that has to change rapidly.
Too many NSW families in our cities and regional areas are desperate – too many are homeless, too many are facing severe housing stress with unaffordable rentals and rapidly diminishing rental availability.
Please join the community of compassionate citizens and be the change –sign our petition now.
Will you stand up for those whose voice is left unheard?
Dear members of parliament who represent the citizens of NSW,
For decades, NSW has underinvested in building social and affordable housing so today we have 50,000 plus households representing 100,000 people on the social housing waitlist.
They may be people with a chronic illness or disability, or a single parent with children and no extended family support. The private rental market is out of reach, but social housing is simply not available.
An estimated 54,000 households have entered or experienced a worsening of housing stress since the start of the pandemic.
We call on you as a matter of urgency to:
- Rapidly scale up housing supply.
- Ensure extended tenant support.
- Establish a state-led integrated planning pathway.
The current crisis is a matter of human suffering for too many NSW citizens. It is NOT JUST A ROOF – it is a necessity for thriving communities. And we remind you that access to affordable, safe, healthy and secure rental housing is a human right.
