Many things are happening in housing and not everybody has the chance to keep abreast of changing events. There are challenges but also opportunities. Housing is a critical area but in a civil society solutions to be successful need to involve as many committed people as possible. One of the big questions is how can we make the most of this golden opportunity to house homeless people and people with disabilities, to accommodate an ageing population, and provide opportunities for families to establish themselves in decent, affordable housing? Housing that also needs to be linked with employment, support services and community infrastructure. Please join us to hear notable speakers and respondents for an information exchange and to debate these and other issues with academics, community housing and welfare colleagues, housing industry, business and government representatives.
