Solving Homelessness in Brisbane

Discussion Forum with Rosanne Haggerty and Cameron Kusher, MC Professor Cameron Parsell
"Based on our research, the rapid escalation in housing costs in Australia has created the conditions—absent of any major changes—for homelessness to significantly increase." - Professor Gregg Colburn
Join Rosanne Haggerty, President and CEO of Community Solutions (USA) and an international homelessness expert, alongside Cameron Kusher, a thought leader on property market conditions and broader economic trends affecting the housing market, for this important event.
Rosanne will discuss how communities are using innovative tools to eliminate homelessness. Learn how governments, businesses, and the not-for-profit sector can collaborate to address this pressing issue, as momentum builds to end homelessness in Australia and beyond.
Cameron will cover the challenges facing the local housing sector and the conditions driving these issues.
