New report finds WA’s rental affordability for low-income earners is at crisis point

Anglicare WA CEO Mark Glasson spoke to 6PR Radio Perth Live presenter Oliver Peterson and said there was currently nothing on the housing market for low-income earners, and if this cohort lost their home today they would be in a “world of pain”.
