Australians for Affordable Housing has been formed at a time when it's less affordable than ever to buy a home and is becoming increasingly difficult to rent. The housing situation for renters and those struggling to buy their first home or manage their mortgage is at a crisis point.

For the last 18 months a group of community organisations, primarily based in Victoria but many with a national focus, have been working together concerned at the declining levels of access to good secure and affordable housing. These groups represent a broad spectrum of services and missions and include housing, homelessness, tenancy, health, community service, church and secular organisations and local Government.
