Housing crisis leaves Victorian town Castlemaine with just 10 homes to rent
ABCIn the past year, Shantelle Podhaczky has made a bed in all sorts of places including train stations, and on the loungeroom floors of her friends' houses. Heather Holst says more social housing is "the one big solution" that will fix the rental crisis. Ms Holst said an adequate supply of social housing was "the one big solution" that would make a difference to the rental market and would involve winding back the clock. Ms Neilsen and the housing team at Dhelkaya Health was getting directly in touch with the owners of the shire's 1,100 vacant homes to understand "friction points" between potential landlords and renters. "People are just being squeezed out of the rental market," said Homelessness Australia chief executive officer Kate Colvin.
