For many families in Australia, securing safe and affordable housing has become increasingly difficult. Some are turning to housing cooperatives (co-ops), but how exactly do they differ from traditional social housing? - Sa gitna ng nararanasang krisis sa pabahay sa Australia, housing cooperatives o co-ops ang nagiging alternatibo para sa ilang pamilyang nangangailangan at wala pang kakayahang bumili ng sariling tahanan. Pero paano ito naiiba sa public housing na alok ng gobyerno?

Peter Cronau, esteemed investigative journalist and editor of Declassified Australia, joined Inez to discuss the shocking discovery that 69 shipments of F-35 fighter jet parts, likely many more, have been flown on commercial passenger planes to Israel from Australia as recently as last week. In part 1 of the conversation, aired last week on Thursday Breakfast, Peter discussed how this routine operation is carried out in secret. Today in part 2, we learn more about the freedom of information request, department of defense's defensive reply, and what is next for the Willamtown base as the main F35 base for the asia-pacific region. Lockheed Martin's F-35 Fighter Jets have been described as their most lethal, stealth fighter jet, playing a critical role in the genocide in Gaza, Palestine as well as other global atrocities. This comes after years of denial by the department of defence, parliament members and the Prime Minister that ''Australia does not supply weapons or parts of weapons to Israel – and hasn't done so for more than 5 years.'' Declassified Australia is uncovering Australia's secret global impact - from whistleblowers to declassified documents, weapons exports to Pine Gap, espionage to state surveillance.// We listened to a clip of Ex-Thursday Breakfast programmer and member of the Homeless Persons Union of Victoria, Spike, speaking outside the Melbourne Town Hall on Tuesday 21 Oct 2025 at the HPUV speakout against the council's criminalisation of homelessness and policing of public space. We also played lived-experience accounts of homeless community members' interactions with CrownLand Security, the private security firm that has been recently employed and deployed by Melbourne City Council in a $2M initiative which marginalises and criminalises those experiencing homelessness on the streets of the CBD. These testimonies were recorded by Spike and Kelly and presented to Melbourne City Councillors during the council meeting on Tuesday 21 October in a bid to get private security of Melbourne's streets. The council will make a decision on the draft security plan on Tuesday 28 October, and community members are asked to turn up in solidarity from 4:30PM - for updates follow @homelesspersonsunionvic on Instagram.// Acclaimed author Tony Birch was back in the studio to give us the long view on urban renewal and the fight for public housing in Naarm/Melbourne. Some of Birch's most memorable short fiction features the impacts of slum reclamation in inner city Melbourne in the mid-20th century, part of the process of establishing the city's now iconic high rise public housing estates. With the flats under threat by a state government plan for their total demolition and redevelopment, organisers and community groups have called a public meeting tonight from 6-8PM at the Capitol Theatre in Melbourne's CBD to sound the alarm. Tony Birch is an activist, historian and essayist, and is currently the Boisbouvier Chair in Australian Literature at the University of Melbourne.// Councillor Sophie Wade, representing Collingwood, joined to discuss the devastating cuts announced last week to cohealth services. cohealth announced two big changes that will impact community members in Collingwood, Fitzroy and Kensington: the closure of cohealth Collingwood in June 2026 next year, and the end of GP services at all sites. cohealth services some of our most marginalised community members. The lack of bulk-billing services and cuts to hospitals and health services in the area will leave almost 12,000 people to deal with the consequences. This comes after years of underfunding and cuts to cohealth services. Community members are asked to show up for an Emergency Town Hall meeting at Fitzroy Town Hall at tomorrow, Friday 24 October, at 4PM.//

REWIND FROM THE ARCHIVES: Lynne Martine Patton, a Trump aid and federal housing official responsible for the New York City region, said she'd move out of Trump Plaza and into public housing to bring attention to "inhuman conditions." In this 2018 commentary from Laura Flanders, she proposes an alternative to Patton's stunt and Trump's pro-privatization agenda.Fast forward to today, check out this week's podcast on the Trump Administration and HUD: Title:  "Cuts, Shutdowns & Civil Rights Attacks: Federal Workers Fight Back" [episode cut & full uncut conversation]About 750,000 people are on unpaid leave as the U.S. government shutdown continues —  but some of the most caring parts of the government's work have been shut down for months. Civil rights attorneys Palmer Heenan and Paul Osadebe recently signed a shocking complaint letter describing chaos within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is responsible for protecting fair housing.“No one is asking for a leg up or an extra hand or whatever the case might be. We're just asking to get rid of discrimination. And so I hope the future will tell the story of people doing just that, coming together, going to Congress and saying, ‘These are our rights. You passed them into law decades ago. Fight for the rights that we have now.'” - Palmer Heenan“The thing that will actually get us through this is solidarity, recognizing what potential power we have as federal workers . . . [The administration wants] to create fear, which leads to silence, which lets things be dismantled without anyone standing up and fighting and saying, ‘This is illegal, this is wrong and this is harming people.' It's up to federal workers, the ones in the building, to actually do that.” - Paul OsadebeGuests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Across many democracies, far-right movements are gaining momentum — a trend that worries policymakers, researchers, and citizens alike. A common explanation points to material hardship: when people feel left behind economically and socially, they often turn to radical political alternatives. One critical dimension of this hardship is housing — especially the lack of affordable and secure homes. Could building more affordable housing help reduce support for far-right parties?New research provides a nuanced answer. It finds that expanding access to social housing does seem to lower far-right support — but only in areas with low immigration. In communities where immigration is already high, the effect reverses.To unpack why this is happening, and what it means for policymakers, host Prof Alan Renwick speaks with Dr. Gloria Gennaro, Lecturer in Public Policy and Data Science at UCL's Department of Political Science. Dr. Gennaro shares insights from her latest study, exploring how housing policy, economic insecurity, and social dynamics intersect with political behavior.Mentioned in this episode:Immigration, Public Housing and Support for the French National Front by Gloria Gennaro UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration. The Department is recognised for its world-class research and policy impact, ranking among the top departments in the UK on both the 2021 Research Excellence Framework and the latest Guardian rankings.

From the publisher: As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects, Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America.Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners.Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America.For information on his book from NYU Press, check out: https://nyupress.org/9781479828432/the-projects/Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Headlines: - Albanese's Office Response: Prime Minister Albanese blames protestors for disruptions, while the church that owns the building states that the protestors have not caused any disturbances and that the lease simply expired. Criticism arises over Albanese's perceived opportunism in his anti-Palestinian rhetoric. - Worker's Death in Sydney: A worker dies from carbon monoxide poisoning while cleaning a restaurant, yet mainstream media focuses on the bravery of police rather than addressing systemic failures in infrastructure that allowed this tragedy to occur. - Tunnel Contractor Allegations: Reports emerge of malfeasance by a tunnel contractor, including a $5000 levy for work and demands for sexual favors and domestic work from female workers. The coverage inaccurately implicates the CFMEU, despite no connection to the union, highlighting issues of sloppy journalism. Additionally, the CFMEU faces ridicule for financial losses on a wellness center, which the union clarifies is intended for member wellbeing, not profit. - Italian Unions General Strike: Italian rank-and-file unions declare a general strike for September 22 in response to attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla in Tunisian waters.Bail Reform Laws Citizen Report II here Caller John on Talkback With Attitude compiles an incisive critique and report on the Victorian Government's Bail Reform Laws that set a double standard for police and a larger critique of Victorian Police media fact checking and media bias demystification. Voices 4 Palestine II here "I Am The Pain" Poem by Lebanese mother and poet Samia recorded and edited by Karina Song - Portishead - Roads Live @ Together For Palestine Shirley Winton NO to AUKUS II hereLive interview from convener of Say No To AUKUS community forum held at Trades Hall Victoria on Sunday the 21st of September 2025 talking to us about why it is important for community to actively resist AUKUS and the ramping up of militarization around the country and indeed the world.  Sue Bolton Save Public Housing II hereThe Victorian Government wants to knock down the 44 Public Housing Towers and hand over the property over to private developers.Why is Public Housing so important listen up from the recent public housing rally in Naarm Melb on  Aug 2We hear from life-long community activist and Socialist Alliance member Sue Bolton as she delivers a searing speech at the Save Public Housing rally that was held on the 2nd of August 2025. This Is The Week II hereThe inimitable Comrade Kevin Healey provides his cutting satirical report on the week that was. First People's Assembly Reuben Berg Treaty Explainer II hereRueben Berg from the First People's Assembly of Victoria gives a nuts and bolts understanding of what is in the legislation and answers some questions around the issues that naysayers are pushing.

In the 1930s, New Deal-era technocrats devised a solution to homelessness and poverty itself. They believed that providing free or low-cost urban housing projects could completely eliminate housing scarcity. Planners envisioned urban communities that would propel their residents into the middle class, creating a flywheel of abundance where poverty was eradicated. However, once construction began after World War II, these projects quickly became dangerous, poorly maintained slums, serving as breeding grounds for crime and decay. By the 1970s, crime rates were so high that levels of violence rivaled those of war zones in Sub-Saharan Africa. What happened? Why did so many of the best and brightest who promoted housing projects—like First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt or city planner Robert Moses—create one of the worst government debacles of the 20th century? Why didn’t they foresee that housing projects would become hotbeds of crime, completely destroying the social fabric of the neighborhoods they aimed to help? Today’s guest is Howard Husock, author of “The Projects: A New History of Public Housing.” He explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. We explore everything that went wrong and what can be done to avoid these same mistakes in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 On this episode of Women on the Line we chat with 44 Flats United (44FU) are a group of residents, former residents and supporters of public housing, organising against the Victorian State Government's decision to demolish the 44 high-rise commission flats and a growing number of walkups across Narrm (Melbourne). They are guided by the principle that not one person should be left worse off because of this government's decision to demolish their homes, that public housing needs to be defended and protected for current residents and future generations to come and that on the unceded sovereign land of First Peoples, no decisions should be made about the sale or leasing of public land until Treaties with First Peoples have been negotiated and finalised.We hear from R-Coo Tran, leader of 44 FU and Thi, a Vietnamese woman living in a housing estate in Richmond. We chat about the major problems with the estate demolition plan, what impact this is having on residents and how 44FU is organising on this campaign. Please note that parts of the conversation are in Vietnamese and have been translated and edited for brevity.

In this episode, seven public housing resident narrators recount stories about sharing in community and forced changes to their family structures, shaped by undercurrents of federal policies enacted during the 1950s–1980s that strictly governed what resources were available to whom. These stories touch on how the United States' aggressive involvement in global affairs affect its residents at home and reveal deeper insights about how systemic changes affect each individual.We encourage you to share this episode with a friend and discuss how sharing and governmental policies have impacted your communities.Episode transcript here.

This corrupt social cleansing of the city will displace people, push up rent and house prices, and make huge profits for developers. Once public assets are sold off, they are all but lost to the private sector, and the rally on Saturday 2 August at 11am may be the last chance to fully mobilise before the first tower comes down.This is the Week that Was with Kevin Healey II hereThe implacable comrade Kevin Healey keeps us updated with everything thats happened this week in his inimitable style. Don Sutherland from Solidarity Dynamics Interview II hereInterviewing regarding the upcoming Economic Roundtable the government has organised and its implicaitons on the working class, an in depth analysis of the situation as it stands.

Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis. But amidst the political and media debate about the fixes to our housing woes, public housing has slipped from view. There's concern that funding commitments are a far cry from the broad based approach to public rental housing which has supported so many Australians in the past, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. So where does Australia go from here?

Sam Sells is a retired U.S. Air Force officer turned impact investor and entrepreneur who has led the acquisition and management of over $200 million in commercial real estate assets. As co-founder of Impact Growth Capital and host of the Disruptive Capitalists podcast, Sam specializes in building wealth by solving critical housing challenges—especially in America's most neglected communities. His approach combines military discipline, systems thinking, and a passion for making a difference at scale. On this episode we talk about: – How Sam made his first dollar as a kid selling whatever he could—and why his last name “Sells” fits his entrepreneurial journey – Lessons from a global military career, building sustainable healthcare systems, and learning to create repeatable, high-impact outcomes – The moment in Chad, Africa, that sparked his mission to pursue financial freedom and help others achieve it – Why real estate became Sam's vehicle for impact and wealth, starting with mobile home parks and scaling to national projects – The realities of flipping homes, the misleading nature of TV real estate shows, and the importance of understanding the real numbers – How Sam used creative strategies like master lease agreements to acquire and improve properties with limited capital – The risks and pitfalls of real estate investing—over-leverage, mismanagement, and the brutal lessons of recent market cycles – Why America is the country's largest “slumlord,” and how Sam is tackling public housing's massive problems through public-private partnerships – How Impact Growth Capital works with HUD and local housing authorities to renovate or rebuild thousands of government-owned units, using government funding and innovative systems to guarantee returns and create real social mobility – The unique, vertically integrated model that combines real estate development, nonprofit resident support, and measurable poverty reduction – The challenges and rewards of scaling a national impact business, and why entrepreneurship—not bureaucracy—is the key to solving America's toughest problems – How others can get involved as investors or partners in this mission Top 3 Takeaways 1. Impact and Profit Can Coexist: You can build wealth and make a real difference by solving urgent problems—like America's public housing crisis—at scale. 2. Creative Structures Unlock Opportunity: Master leases, public-private partnerships, and government-backed funding can open doors for investors willing to learn and innovate. 3. Entrepreneurship Drives Change: Lean, mission-driven entrepreneurs are better equipped than government alone to tackle complex social issues and deliver lasting results. Notable Quotes – “No matter how hard he works, he's never going to become free. What do I need to do to become free—and how can I help as many other people become free as possible?” – “The number one slumlord in America is America. Public housing authorities own nearly 900,000 units—seven times the size of Blackstone.” – “We can do good and do well at the same time. Our intent is to help millions get out of poverty and help our investors make a great return in the process.” Connect with Sam Sells: Email: sam@impactgrowthcap.com Website: impactgrowthcap.com Podcast: Disruptive Capitalists LinkedIn: Search “Sam Sells Impact Growth Capital”

How housing policy failed the people it was designed to help -- and how to fix it As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects: A New History of Public Housing (NYU Press, 2025), Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America. Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners. Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America. Learn more about your ad choices.

Your mid-century house, and mine - just like  13 million solid ranches, tidy Levit cottages and charming post and beam homes built across the US between 1945 and 65 - might not strike you as "public housing." But they ARE our country's solution to a housing crisis. Post-war Britain, profoundly affected by the German Blitz and widespread destruction,  embarked on a different path. Their "blitz spirit" of collective sacrifice led to a significant political shift and the creation of a robust welfare state, including a massive program of publicly subsidized housing (often called council housing).  By 1977, nearly half of the British population lived in socially assisted housing, leading to a much less stigmatized view of public housing compared to the US.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why the US and the UK took such different post-war housing paths. How these mid-century policy choices are reflected in our current communities. Where we might find opportunities to respond to our current housing crisis in our mid-cenutry neighborhoods.   Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2109.Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Barry Berih has lived in the same Melbourne flat for most of his life. He has mild cerebral palsy and is cared for by his mother. He has all the medical support he needs, along with his mosque nearby and his Eritrean community surrounding him. But one afternoon, without warning, Barry watched the then Victorian premier, Dan Andrews, announce on TV that the iconic public housing towers in the city would be demolished. One of those towers is his home, making Barry one of about 10,000 people set to be evicted. With that threat looming, some of his neighbours decided to leave. But Barry has been fighting back, and today at 10am, he and hundreds of other people in his class action will find out whether they’ve won their case against the Victorian government. Today, reporter and co-host of 7am Ruby Jones, on the plan to demolish public housing during a housing crisis, and how Melbourne’s inner city will change if Barry loses his case.

Public housing has a long and complicated history, from ancient civilizations to the towering high-rises of mid-20th century America. But while the goal has always been to provide affordable housing, the results have often fallen far short of expectations. In this episode, we explore how public housing evolved—from medieval serfdom and Roman insulae to the infamous “projects” like Cabrini-Green. We'll also discuss modern approaches, like Section 8 vouchers and tax credits, and whether public housing has a future in today's political climate. Is there a way to make government-supported housing work, or does history suggest otherwise? Tune in to find out.
