Cost of Living: Housing & Rental
The cost of living crisis has impacted the housing market, rental availability and affordability. Where private rental properties are available, rents are increasing to such an extent that many can no longer afford these and must look for alternative solutions. The impact of increased costs across any essential services is always disproportionately felt by the lowest income recipients.
“Let me be clear: there is no social or moral justification whatsoever for the lack of housing.”
- Pope Francis
