Australia needs more housing, period. This is especially important in the community housing sector, and we applaud the efforts of governments to increase funding and set targets to seek to address the dire shortage. Community housing is secure, affordable, long term rental housing managed by not-for-profit organisations for people on low incomes or with special needs. Providers are registered and regulated by the state government.

In seeking to rapidly increase supply, how do we ensure that the homes we build are optimised for high performance, reduced operational energy costs, improved health and comfort outcomes and increase resilience against impacts of climate change for the next 50-100 years…?

In this episode, Founder of HIP V. HYPE Liam Wallis joins Lucy Simms, Chief Commercial Officer, Women's Property Initiatives; Kathy Johnson, Managing Director at Yarraport and David Mahony, Head of Better Buildings and a Director of Sustainability at HIP V. HYPE to explore immediate action to optimise alignment between affordability and sustainability for community housing.

What are the barriers, what are the opportunities and where are our blind spots…?
