The Housing Crisis Has a Face.

It's under 35. Across Australia, young people are being locked out of home ownership at a rate never seen before.

What We Do.

Six constitutional objects. One mission: affordable housing for young Australians.

📣

Collective Voice

We act as the organised voice for young people on housing access, affordability, and home ownership.

🏛️

Government Engagement

We engage with local, state, and federal government to push for policy that actually responds to young people's needs.

📋

Policy and Reform

We advocate for changes to regulations, building codes, and financial models that create real pathways.

🔧

Practical Pathways

We support alternative housing models like prefabricated, modular, and community-led builds.

Together We Belong.

The housing crisis doesn't discriminate. It affects young Australians from every background. First Nations peoples, new arrivals, young families, people with disability. Housing is a unifying issue, and we stand together.

YPHA acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waterways on which we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Young Voices, Real Stories.

"

This space is reserved for stories from real young people on the Sunshine Coast. Their experiences, their struggles, and why this movement matters.
