There's no secret that a housing crisis exists in Australia.  Over the past five years, the median home value has increased by around 40% (CoreLogic).  But if you look at just South East Queensland, that increase climbs to a whopping 75%.

This means the median price for a home in South East Queensland is almost $1.1 million, with nearly half of all houses in the region being valued at over $1 million.

In Warwick, the local Uniting Church decided to do something to help their community navigate the housing crisis.

Uniting Place Warwick opened on September 15; it's an affordable housing development offering safe and affordable homes for low-income families in the Warwick and Southern Downs region.

Rev Ansie Liebenberg is the Lead Minister of the Warwick Killarney Freestone Uniting Church, and spoke to Alex Milne about the church's commitment to the local community.
