As Western Australia’s housing crisis reaches unprecedented levels and becomes a key federal election issue, Everybody's Home is hosting an online town hall with WA Senators and MPs to discuss their vision, solutions, and priorities today, Wednesday 19 March.
The town hall offers WA voters and sector organisations an opportunity to ask housing questions and engage directly with politicians from across the political spectrum before they head to the polls.
This comes as the national housing campaign launches its Priced Out report, revealing that virtually no region in WA is affordable for people on low and middle incomes.
The report finds that Northern WA, Perth, South West WA, and the Goldfields region are among the most unaffordable areas in the country, where even six-figure earners would have to spend more than 30% of their income on median unit rents.
WHEN: Wednesday March 19, 12pm Perth time (AWST)
