00:02Coming home is not something Jess Menes will ever take for granted after bouts of homelessness,
00:09including some nights when she was forced to sleep in a public toilet.
00:13It's scary. You obviously feel shame, but it is a roof and four walls around you.
00:20Ms Menes is now in stable housing, but at $1,024 a fortnight, her JobSeeker allowance barely covers the $1
00:29,000 she pays in rent.
00:32Anglicare says her story is a familiar one across the country.
00:36The private rental market isn't working. It's not delivering housing affordability.
00:41The latest snapshot showed just one rental nationwide was affordable for a person on JobSeeker.
00:48None at all were affordable for a person on a youth allowance.
00:52Less than 1% of private rentals were affordable for a single person on the age pension.
00:59And only 15% of private rentals are affordable for a couple both earning minimum wage.
01:06There is also pressure on social housing.
01:09So in South East Queensland there's over 50,000 people, which represents over 25,000 households or families,
01:16who are actually waiting for social housing.
01:18In the meantime, families live in substandard homes or in cars as Anglicare fights for change.
01:26The tax system of the discount to capital gains of 50% has been driving this now for over 25
01:33years.
01:34Anglicare is calling for that to be overhauled in the upcoming federal budget.
01:39Jess Menes says without change, homelessness can be just one step away for anyone.
01:46It sucks. No one should be homeless in 2026 in a developed nation.
01:51Yet people are homeless and children are homeless. It's awful.
