Australia is right now in the grips of a housing crisis, with entire families forced to live in campervans, cars and even tents.

(b) Explain the cause for this housing crisis in the city you have researched on.

Very low-income people can afford only very low rent. The gap between what they can pay and the cost of a reasonable housing sector is not being met by [government]. Therefore, maintenance of existing housing stock becomes a huge problem.

(c) Suggest a solution for this housing crisis in the city you have researched on.
