Our Place: Building a fairer housing future

A fairer housing future is possible. Together, we can make it happen.

Join Everybody's Home for an inspiring end-of-year conversation with Matt Lloyd-Cape, author of Our Place, about how we can create a housing system that works for everyone.

After years of collective advocacy, 2026 has brought significant movement on housing tax reform - a powerful reminder that change is possible, even when the challenges seem enormous.

As we look towards 2027, it's time to ask: What else could we achieve together?

In this one-hour online conversation, we'll explore:

• What a fairer, more secure and affordable housing future could look like.

• What this year's progress on housing tax reform teaches us about the power of collective advocacy.

• How we can build momentum for stronger renters' rights and a major expansion of public and community housing.
