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

We organise. We show up. We push for change.

YPHA is the Sunshine Coast's advocacy body for young people's housing. We don't build houses. We build the pressure, the policy, and the pathways that make housing happen.

01

Advocate

We are the collective voice for young Australians on housing access, affordability, and home ownership.

02

Engage Government

We push local, state, and federal government to actually respond to the housing crisis facing young people.

03

Create Pathways

We champion practical solutions: prefab, modular, and community-led housing that puts ownership within reach.

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.

"

I have grandsons in Sydney and I just believe that they'll never own a house, so I'm really concerned that, in this great country of ours, we are forsaking our young generation.

- Geoff Clarke, YPHA President
