Jennifer speaks with Brendan Coates from the Grattan Institute about his report: A place to call home: It’s time for a social housing future fund. 

The proposal is for a $20b future fund for the federal government to deliver 3,000 extra social housing units a year into perpetuity – 6,000 per year if matched by state governments.

Seems like a good idea, but would it be enough? Could it create real systemic change?
