The Housing Crisis: Challenges and Innovative Solutions

Date/Time: 10 Aug 2022: 6pm-7.30pm

Where: Souths Merewether

The housing crisis has many faces: increasing demand for a limited supply of rental properties and for social housing; increasing homelessness evidenced by rough sleeping, couch surfing and sleeping in cars; and housing and rental prices out of reach of many in our community

The Newcastle Institute will examine the housing crisis challenges and discuss innovative solutions beyond the traditional government funded social housing at the August Meeting on Wednesday 10^th August, 6.00-7.30pm at Souths Leagues Club Llewellyn St Merewether.

Our speakers will include

Nicole Grgas , the Coordinator at Hunter Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service who will describe the face of the housing crisis and the challenges faced in our community.
Dr Sidsel Grimstad, Senior Lecturer at Newcastle Business School at University of Newcastle who will examine other models beyond social housing successfully used in other countries with a focus on cooperative housing.

They will then join with the audience in a broad discussion.

The Forum is open to the public. A donation of $10 is requested from non-members.

July 13th, 6pm till 7.30pm at Souths Merewether; Llewelyn Street, Merewether.

The Forum will be free to watch live on the Newcastle Institute Facebook page. There's more information on our website at www.newcastleinstitute.org.au and the recorded stream will also be available on the Institute’s website after the event.
