Grateful for new social housing funding in Victoria, but we need the proper mix and quality!

Friday, 29 January 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques speaks about housing - public, social, community, cooperative -
with Abigail Lewis from local Think Tank Per Capita. Abigail (and Per
Capita) make a strong argument for the inclusion of a strong proportion
of public housing in the 5 Billion Dollar injection in the 'social'
housing sector by the Victorian Government, as it is the most effective
way to combat homelessness. She also points at the need to build housing
of good quality responding to ecological criteria and to the varying
needs and capabilities of intended groups of residents, for example,
ageing groups or people with disability.

 

 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
