Our Spaces: A short film about the sharing revolution happening in our homes

A key focus for RDA Mid North Coast this year has been looking at different grassroots solutions to the problem of affordable housing, including the idea of people sharing their spare bedrooms.

On behalf of RDA Mid North Coast, we’re sharing their recently released film: Our Spaces: A short film about the sharing revolution happening in our homes. For the film, the RDA engaged a filmmaker, and interviewed people who share their spaces in different ways, with interesting and beneficial outcomes. They also partnered with flatmates.com.au and asked people to take the flatmate pledge

'Our Spaces' examines housing opportunities that everyday people in the Mid North Coast have created in their own domestic spaces. While there is no doubt government support is required to alleviate the situation, there are also actions that everyday people can take. 'Our Spaces' showcases a series of options from having a flatmate to retro-fitting a home to purpose building to share. With over 81,000 Spare rooms across the Mid North Coast it's time to consider the role we all can play in turning around the housing crisis.
