Without rapid, radical change, Australia is on track to match homelessness rates in the U.S
Join the Institute in supporting Housing All Australia, the business-led movement helping Australia’s homelessness crisis who will address the housing crisis with their first breakfast tour event this September.
In 2022, the two organisations executed a Memorandum of Understanding setting out a process of collaboration and range of joint activities. The partnership recognises the need to do more in the face of Australia’s worsening social and affordable housing crisis.
“Based on our research, the recent rapid escalation in housing costs in Australia has created the conditions—absent any major changes—for homelessness to increase significantly.”
– Gregg Colburn, Associate Professor, University of Washington
The events will occur across three locations and we encourage members to get involved and attend where possible.
Furthering their mission to foster respectful unrest by educating the public on the often-overlooked consequences of the housing crisis, they are bringing Assoc. Prof. Gregg Colburn (University of Washington) over from the U.S. to exclusively discuss his research that tests conventional beliefs about the causes of homelessness and proposes a path forward.
In New York City, over 78,000 people are homeless on a single night. We must act now to prevent Australia from facing a similarly unmanageable problem. This series of talks, starting in Melbourne and moving on to Sydney and Brisbane are a must-attend for key industry leaders looking to reshape the national conversation on housing and homelessness.
