Deep discussion Housing and Universal Basic Income

Where: Zoom

When: 2026-01-21T08:00:00.000Z

Duration: 2 hours

Description: Would a UBI actually improve housing security for renters and people with mortgages, or would it be eaten up by rising rents, higher interest rates, and existing debt? How do land values, credit, and financialisation shape who really benefits from income support? Join Basic Income Australia for a Deep Discussion on housing and UBI. This session will unpack common concerns like rent increases, mortgage stress, interest rates, and the risk of losing or reshaping existing housing supports. We will look at what a UBI can and cannot do on its own, and what other housing or tax policies might be needed alongside it. Let's navigate these choppy waters together <3.
