We have developed a number of campaign projects to assist in the promotion of housing affordability and the forces that deny so many the right to affordable housing. Many people have a blinkered understanding to the limitations that high rents place on their own individual freedoms.

Whether you are in the north or south, the problems are worldwide. The Global Financial Crisis sees a predominance with bailout economics, bailing out the wealth gap and entrapping renters into paying 40% plus of their income on the supposed basic human right – a roof over our head and a piece of land on which to stand.

Please consider the following. We are here to help:

• The I Want to Live Here campaign can be conducted by anyone who has time to survey their neighbourhood.
  Our 2009 , 2008 or 2007 reports were successful in generating media.

Tools to share:
Economic detective kit – how to spot a vacant property.
Detective magnet – useful to build your team.

We can offer more when you contact us. Please read our reports so you are grounded in our aims and objectives.

• Community Land Trusts are a micro version of the macro reform we aim for. We are hoping to help set up a CLT in the next 18 months when the price of land hits rock bottom. If you want to help set up a sustainable, affordable community where the majority of your living cost goes to helping your community become self sufficient, then please contact us. We will be holding information sessions in the near future.
• Speed Renting events assist share householders create a better living environment by helping you filter out the dorks.
• The I Want to Live Here film competition tuning youngsters into the bigger picture.
• We are building up campaign ideas to lobby the superannuation industry to remove land banking and property speculation from ‘ethical investment’ portfolios.

In the past we have run campaigns such as the Earthsharing Challenge - aiming to educate young people about the wider principles of sharing nature’s bounty.

Email earth (at) earthsharing dot org dot au with a request to assist any project. We would love your help.
