Global and Local Perspectives on Homelessness in a Pandemic

Dunstan Dialogue: Learning from the challenges and looking to the future

How has homelessness been affected by the global pandemic – what do you do when the government instruction is to ‘Stay home’ but have no home to go?  Join former Chief Executive Officer of All Chicago and our most recent Thinker in Residence, Dr Nonie Brennan, as we discuss how COVID-19 has impacted people experiencing homelessness across the globe.

Dr Brennan will be joined by leading South Australian homelessness researcher and local expert, Professor Chris Leishman as he shines a light on affordability in the Australian housing market.  What have been our greatest challenges and our biggest wins for those sleeping rough through this pandemic? What can the corporate sector, NGOs and communities do to enable positive outcomes for some of our most vulnerable? Book your tickets to find out!

“Homelessness and rough sleeping are not the failure of an individual, rather they are the result of complex system breakdowns.” Dr Nonie Brennan
