Housing security for women: learn, connect, and accelerate change

We are bringing together leaders working at the forefront of this issue to share what is happening on the ground, and what is needed next.

> What will it take to respond the growing need for affordable housing?
> What are the current housing challenges faced by migrants and refugees?
> What is needed to support women’s access to safe community housing?

What to expect

• A clearer understanding of the housing challenges facing women in Melbourne
