Homelessness Conference Recap and Resources!
|
Our 6th annual conference, themed
Preventing Homelessness, was a sell-out success! Attendees were invited to examine and reflect on various ways different sectors can collaborate more effectively to prevent homelessness in South Australia and abroad.
Having sold out, 93% of attendees expressed that they would attend again next year, with 66% stating the conference inspired new ways of thinking. On Twitter #HomelessnessConference trended number one in South Australia and number six nationally, raising great awareness of homelessness issues.
The keynote addresses by Community Solutions (USA) Principal Jake Maguire and Portfolio Lead Leslie Wise and Dr John Falzon, plus other inspiring recorded discussions, resources and photos are now available
here.
It was a fantastic day of coming together, sharing ideas and inspiring action. If anyone is interested in joining the organising committee for next year's conference, please contact the Foundation via email at
dunstan.foundation@adelaide.edu.au.
