HOUSE YOU!
EVERyBODY GETS A HOUSE
Housing is for everyone to live in, not for a few to hoard for profit.
We have enough homes. But, the government chooses house hoarders over housing you.
Every year $20 billion is handed to property investors in the form of tax breaks, helping them build their portfolios, pushing up prices and making it harder for you to get a house.
Instead of bankrolling the housing crisis, we can fund the solution! Join our campaign to scrap the house hoarding tax breaks and spend that $20 billion on Housing First solutions, so everybody gets a house.

WE HAVE ENOUGH HOMES
This isn’t a supply issue. It’s a hoarding problem.
Supply has outpaced population growth for a decade. We have enough housing for everybody, if homes were distributed for need, not greed.
But we have a system that supports a wealthy few to hoard our homes. A third of all our housing stock is classified as ‘investment property’, while more and more Australians are locked out of a home at all.
This is made possible by $20 billion of tax breaks each year in the form of negative gearing, which allows investors to write off losses on their investment property against their income, and the Capital Gains Tax discount, which halves the tax investors have to pay on the profit every time they buy and sell our homes.
Your tax dollars support people who already own multiple homes to buy more, driving up the price of houses while families sleep in cars and people wait decades for public housing.
This isn’t a supply shortage. It’s government funded hoarding of a basic human need.
HOUSING FIRST
THE SOLUTION TO GET EVERYBODY A HOUSE
Redirect the $20 billion from house hoarders to Housing First.
What is Housing First? Give people homes first, then provide support. No waitlists. No rough sleeping. No one forced to prove they’re “housing ready.”
It works. Housing is the foundation for everything: health, dignity, employment, community, life.
It’s cheaper. Managing homelessness through crisis accommodation & emergency services costs more than housing people.
What we need: Public housing owned by the people for the people. Secure, long term homes for everyone. Not temporary fixes. Not “affordable” housing that treats shelter as a commodity. Free public housing that gets everybody a house.
OUR STORY
FROM EVICTION TO MOVEMENT BUILDING
House You was founded by Chels after being pushed into homelessness through a no-grounds eviction.
Homelessness isn’t personal failure. It’s a housing system designed to benefit house hoarders and keep working people desperate.
But here’s the thing: we fought back and we won. No-grounds evictions are now banned in multiple states because people like you got organised and made politicians do their job.
Who we are: Young people, workers, renters, people who’ve experienced homelessness. Everyone who believes housing is a human right. We live this crisis.
We’re building people power to force systemic change. We’ve already proven the government will do the right thing when we make them. Ready to get everybody a house?
