Ask a grandparent, a first home buyer or someone who’s been renting for years and can’t see a way out.

They’ll each tell you something different about their own situation. But they’ll all tell you the same thing about the housing crisis: it’s real, it’s everywhere, and something needs to change.

The community mandate is there, governments of all levels have a lot more to do to ensure affordable homes for all Australians.

Today’s Federal Government announcement on Modern Methods of Construction and housing red tape review is a win for the 18,000 Australians who helped build the case for it.
 
AMPLIFY welcomes both decisions from Minister for Housing, Clare O’Neil.
 
Our research shows two in three Australians back MMC, and our modelling suggests modular construction could deliver up to 20,000 extra homes a year, in half the time. That’s the scale of ambition this crisis demands.
 
There’s more work to do but today is a step in the right direction.

Australians support the direction of the government’s housing tax reforms, but feel the budget didn’t go far enough to solve the housing crisis.

We asked Australians what the Federal Government should do to fix the housing crisis. They already know what they want: More homes built where people want to live. Better use of the housing we already have. Stronger support for renters and a better safety net.
 
Every time someone named a reform that’s in our platform, we ticked it off.
 
We’ve worked with experts, peak bodies and organisations to figure out how to make those changes actually happen. The result is a plan built alongside more than 18,000 Australians.
 
None of us are the Minister for Housing. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have the answers.

On ABC Insiders this morning, Samantha Maiden shared findings from AMPLIFY’s first national survey following the Federal Budget.

The results show Australians remain sceptical with most less likely to trust the government. It also found voters are divided on whether the changes will make it easier to buy a home.

Australians aren’t yet sold on the budget but they are clear that they want bolder action on housing. Visit amplifyaus.org/housing to add your voice to the reforms that matter to you.

We hit the streets to find out what Australians really think of the Federal Budget.
 
The verdict? Most aren’t sure.
 
18,000 Australians have already told us what they want: a bold plan for housing that actually moves the needle. According to most, this Budget didn’t meet that moment.

With a housing crisis 30 years in the making, the real test of last night’s budget was whether it would deliver more homes, faster and at lower cost. It falls short.

Australians have told us repeatedly they want governments to treat housing like the national crisis it is, with urgency, coordination and follow through. Our engagement with more than 18,000 Australians, the largest ever undertaken on housing in this country, has reinforced that they are ready for bold reform.

There are steps to welcome: housing tax reform that seeks to encourage supply and homeownership, infrastructure investment and new supports for vulnerable Australians. But based on the numbers in the Budget, Australia will still fall a long way short of its national housing target.

The Budget was a moment for transformative action but instead was a missed opportunity to meaningfully address worker shortages, deliver more social and affordable housing, and back modern methods of construction.

Full statement at the link. Do you think this Budget went far enough on housing?

Young Australians still believe housing can be fixed.

Despite being twice as likely to have to make large sacrifices to stay housed, young people are still the most optimistic generation that housing will get better. And they trust the Federal Government more than any other generation to deliver.

Tomorrow’s Federal Budget is the moment to prove that trust is earned.

“There is a sense that employment opportunities and the cost of houses across regions are entirely out of whack right now.”

AMPLIFY CEO georginaharrisson on 7 News Central West NSW spoke on the housing pressures faced by regional communities and why prefab housing is a real path forward.

This comes off the back of the NSW Government’s announcement earlier this week to streamline building approvals and drive uptake of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
