Homes Not Houses: The Gendered Housing Problem

Last season on Homes Not Houses, the CEH team unpacked the Australian housing crisis as a whole, diving into our history, the policies that shaped that market, and the solutions that could solve it.    However, one factor that is often overlooked in the housing debate is how women interact and a treated by the housing sector.   From home ownership to accessing social housing, women tend to have a harder time navigating the housing market than their male counterparts.   In our opener for season two of Homes Not Houses, CEH Director Dr Kate Raymor speaks to economist Dr Leonora Risse to help identify the issue women face when searching for safe, secure housing, and the causes of these inequities.   This season is proudly sponsored by the YWCA and Australians Investing in Women, whose support helped produce the show and our research.  View the season credits and references here: https://percapita.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Homes-Not-Houses-Season-2-Credits-References.pdf Homes Not Houses was produced on the lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present.
