Join Global Insight Online Forum on Councils Tackling Homelessness.
Homelessness is a complex challenge facing communities across Australia and New Zealand. While councils may not be solely responsible for addressing homelessness, they play an important role in bringing stakeholders together, strengthening partnerships and supporting coordinated responses that deliver better outcomes for communities.
In this forum, you will hear from Peniel Elliott of Rotorua Lakes Council (NZ) and Leanne Mitchell of Australian Alliance to End Homelessness on how building partnerships, improving coordination and working across councils can better support people experiencing homelessness.
