Home Truths

People who rent deserve to live in homes which are comfortable, healthy, and affordable.

But as renters, our experiences of home are experiences of uncomfortable temperatures, worse health, and unaffordable power bills. Home Truths is shining a light on these issues.

Through Home Truths, we have been working with people who rent in the ACT to help them improve their homes. We've done this by developing an Energy Efficiency Guide for Renters, and through conducting home visits to rental households.

People who receive a home visit will be able to:

  • make their home healthier and more comfortable,
  • reduce their power bills, &
  • reduce their climate pollution. 

Home Truths will grow a community of renters asserting their rights to healthy and comfortable homes. Help us show other renters that we have the power to make renting better — and we can start in our own homes.
