AHC2018 POCKET PROGRAM
The 2018 conference theme - Everybody’s Home
highlights the current and growing shortfall of
accessible and affordable housing in Australia
across the entire housing continuum.
Over the two days, housing professionals from the private, not
for profit, and government sectors will come together to share
expertise and find out about the latest news in the industry.
CHIA NSW and Homelessness NSW are jointly convening the
NSW 2018 Affordable Housing Conference – Everybody’s
Home from 27 – 28 June 2018 at the Sydney Masonic
Centre, 66 Goulburn St, Sydney NSW 2000.
With housing affordability rising up the political agenda and
elections on the way AHC 2018 Everybody’s Home is expected
to be our biggest conference ever, attracting not just the housing
and homelessness sector but the industry’s financiers, property
developers, government policy makers, land use planners, and
academia. We have speakers lined up from Canada, the US
and Europe to complement locals on topics as diverse as tax
credits, Aboriginal housing needs, why investing in housing
makes economic sense and the case for growing the community
housing sector.

A NATIONAL HOUSING STRATEGY: WHY EVERY COUNTRY NEEDS ONE
Australia needs a national housing strategy. Scotland has ‘More Homes Scotland’ with £3 billion to deliver at least 50,000 affordable homes, of which 35,000 will be for social rent, by March 2021.
Canada’s ‘A place to call home’ - its first ever National Housing Strategy - is a 10-year, C$40-billion plan to address its affordability problems and we’re told the process has had an explicit focus on
Indigenous housing issues too. And now we hear New Zealand plans to end homelessness. In England the London Mayor has been agitating for higher targets, the Conservative government is
9.30 – 11.00 consulting on mandating affordable housing targets and the opposition has just published big plans. So this session is about what has happened out there, how it happened and what Australia needs to
do to make a national housing strategy happen.

PANEL DISCUSSION (Grand Lodge L1)
COMMUNITY HOUSING AS PART OF A NATIONAL PLAN
There is a shortage of affordable rental housing in Australia, but no national plan to address this. The community housing industry is eager to be a part of the solution, yet in comparison to other countries
the industry is relatively small and low profile. How can we change this? In this plenary David Orr CEO at England’s National Housing Federation will be looking at the rise of the equivalent sector there and
the ingredients of its success. Australian respondents will discuss what needs to happen here.

EVERYBODY’S HOME: HOW TO GET THERE
There is a growing shortfall of affordable homes across the housing spectrum and growing public awareness that we already have the tools to fix Australia’s broken housing system – it seems to come
down to a matter of will. This panel debate will explore the options available to politicians to address the current shortfall of affordable housing, with politicians from across the political spectrum
responding with their proposals.
