Fiona and Shane talk to Dee, an older woman living outside a major city in Victoria who is in housing stress. She is ineligible for public housing but does not have enough savings to purchase a home, and is falling through the gaps of a system that has very few affordable housing options. Many older women find themselves in this situation and we are referring to this group as "the missing middle", although Dee does not use that term. She tells us about her housing situation, and what she would like the government to do about it.
Dee was part of our Ten Year Affordable Housing Strategy consultation. You can read our submission here: https://www.oldertenants.org.au/sites/default/files/haag_submission_to_1...
