Symposium

Better Housing Now: Session 4 - A Call to Action

Host: Shelter NSW

We know the severe and deep impact of housing (un)affordability in Sydney. We have the evidence and know what needs to be done. While there are no silver bullets to addressing housing affordability, we can start the first steps to work towards a secure home for all?

Session 4 of the ‘Better Housing Now’ Symposium looks at ambitious, impactful policy, design governance changes to address these challenges: from tenancy law to land ownership models, through to housing for vulnerable renters, non-for-profit housing organisations making a difference every day, and some big picture thinking in relation to climate change. Join us in this session for a refreshing call to action towards housing for all.
