At the final plenary session of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) National Homelessness Conference on Kaurna land yesterday, Homelessness NSW CEO, Dom Rowe summed up the mood for change. “When you get in the room with the decision-makers, ask yourself are you at the table or are you on the menu? This sector is currently on the menu and we need to use our power to sit at the table.” The theme of the conference was "Gathering Momentum". We are seeing positive momentum in the homelessness space, great initiatives are being discussed and recent budget announcements are a great first step. To really shift the dial on homelessness, we need to keep our advocacy strong. Significant additional investment is needed in social housing and support services. As a sector we need to build support across our communities to strengthen the momentum for change and convince State and Federal Treasury to invest seriously in this vital social infrastructure.

Fact not Fiction
Tim Richter, President & CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, spoke with CBC’s Ian Hanomansing on Cross Country Checkup about the stereotypes surrounding Canada's tent cities and encampments and how Canada can reduce homelessness now. Listen: https://loom.ly/7w3Ue58 - - - - Here's a excerpt from their conversation: If you chase people out and you take their tents, you take their warm possessions, you take away the things they need to survive, you don’t solve the problem. If you want to keep these people safer, you need to move them into somewhere safer, not take their tents and push them around town. In Edmonton, the same people popped up in different tents the next day. So the approach in Edmonton in not solving the problem, and, in fact, making it exponentially more dangerous for people. #homelessness #tentcity #encampment #Canadapoli

Our top 3 recs for addressing this shortage: 1. Boost affordable housing production 2. Expand rental assistance 3. Make subsidies work better Any solution to homelessness must address the lack of affordable housing for extremely low-income households.

Have you ever thought about what truly solves homelessness? Transitioning from temporary fixes to sustainable solutions, the Housing First approach offers not just shelter, but a real home. Pioneered in Finland, it’s about dignity, stability, and the foundation to rebuild lives without preconditions. While many cities aim to adopt it, the real challenge lies in structural changes. Join City Relief in embracing long-term solutions, because everyone deserves a place to call home. #HousingFirst #EndHomelessness
