Q Shelter - Because Housing Matters

National Shelter today released the 6th edition of the Rental Affordability Index with their partners SGS Economics and Planning and Community Sector Banking. They also welcomed the Brotherhood of St Laurence as a new sponsor for the Index. The latest release shows low income households continue to face severe unaffordability in our rental markets despite a slight improvement in the overall rental affordability of the nation. For more detail, click on the interactive map above which looks at household type, income and area as well as looking at past data.
