A 60-second promotional video by Ian Ugarte (INVIDA/Invita) describing an Australian housing shortage that disproportionately affects single 55-year-old women who lack savings. Ugarte states that 60–80% of current accommodation seekers are singles and couples while 60–80% of available rental properties are 3–5 bedroom homes; Invita aims to produce more suitable housing (multiplying front doors) to rebuild households and community.

Now we've got a housing shortage in Australia particularly 55 year old single females are becoming homeless. These are women that looked after house and home for the last 20 or 30 years and now find themselves in a predicament where they don't have enough savings and the cost of living is very, very high. If one front door can be four or five front doors, doesn't that mean we're producing more housing in the short term for the demographic that needs it the most? We realised that 60 to 80% of the people looking for accommodation right now are singles and couples and 60 to 80% of the properties available for them to ren is 3, 4 and 5 bedroom houses. Invita is here to be able to help the community get into a better spot so that the community can become just like the one that I grew up in when I was a young child. This is what we need back in Australia We've lost community and community was lost because we lost the household. We're rebuilding households in Envita to create community.
