Double rent assistance

By David Hale - posted Tuesday, 12 May 2020

Arguing that people should just help themselves, simply is not doable.

Where the market has not solved the issue. Why hasn't the government done more to help?

Doubling rent assistance is arguably the most doable of their options. The one that may do the most good, the quickest, and encounter the least resistance.

I assume we can all agree, people should have decent and affordable places to call home.
