Housing Affordability on the Mornington Peninsula - how does this effect homelessness?

Every night, over 2,600 people are without secure accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula and numbers are increasing at an alarming rate. What part does housing availability on the Peninsula play in this?

This forum, the second in our series on Homelessness, will take an in depth look into housing on the Mornington Peninsula; in particular, affordable housing. Where we are right now and where do we go from here.

The forum will be a place to discuss the impact housing, or a lack of housing, particularly affordable housing, has for the homeless within our community, and in fact, for the whole community.

Join us in this free event – the second of three public community forums to empower and drive solutions.

Our Key-note speaker on the night will be Paul McDonald, CEO Anglicare VIC

Our facilitator for the evening will be Ben Smith, CEO Mornington Community Support Centre.

This event is run by Peninsula Voice Inc., a volunteer organisation based on the Mornington Peninsula.

Peninsula Voice's objectives are to promote education and awareness of what is required to prevent behaviours which are harmful to our community. We believe that the quality and strength of our community can be measured by how it cares for and supports those who are in disadvantage. Accordingly, our community conversations and forums are designed to build and/or improve existing community networks, goodwill, fellowship and compassion as the means of supporting our community to build capacity to work together.
