When Louise and her husband were looking to buy a house a few years ago, she wanted to find one that was big enough for their growing kids and had a little extra space just in case. I hoped that I would be in a position where I could help, particularly Mum, or any of my family, if they were needing help, she says. That we would be able to provide a safe haven if somebody needed it.
Earlier this year Louise, 39, was able to provide that safe haven to her mother Janine, 70, who left home in a hurry when her relationship ended and she had nowhere else to go.

Housing experts and economists are concerned that the Treasury’s ongoing dependence on “cheap money” policy will further ratchet up house price and widen the gap between rich and poor.
Housing experts and economists have hit out at the government over its perceived lack of attention in regard to the impacts the housing system poses to economic productivity and growth.
A UNSW Future Centre study, commissioned by the Housing Productivity Research Consortium, found that 84 per cent of the surveyed 47 leading economists and 40 senior experts from government, industry and academia agreed that Australian governments have paid too little attention to how housing outcomes affect productivity and growth.
