In the past fifty years, Australia has moved from a society where housing was seen as a universal right, to one where it is now predominantly viewed as a safety net for those most in need.
Grounded in dignity, solidarity, and the common good, A Home for Every Neighbour campaign will combine faith-based action with public advocacy to mobilise communities, influence decision-makers, and secure lasting commitments for housing justice.
The Campaign launched on 18 March, 2026 will conclude 150 days later, celebrating commitments made and renewing resolve for long-term change.
Structured around five intentional stages – Awareness, Education, Relationship, Action & Commitment – the campaign will work to build momentum steadily, ensuring participation deepens overtime and results are concrete.
The goals are to:
- Shift public narrative: Housing as a human right, not a commodity alone.
- Build informed communities capable of advocating effectively.
- Strengthen relationships between communities, people with lived experience, and decision-makers.
- Demand concrete policy actions from Government for public and affordable housing, and allied tax reform.
- Secure lasting commitments that outlive the campaign.
