The Group is providing guidance and advice to me on affordable housing and homelessness policy and, in particular, on possible actions which could be included in a new ACT Housing Strategy.
The Group has been chosen for their independent external expertise and reflects the desire to engage with a broader and different group of interlocutors on the important issue of social and affordable housing policy.
The Group has guided and informed how the government is consulting with the wider community on these key issues. Members are also participating in targeted focus groups and wider community consultations, and are providing a conduit for feedback from interested stakeholders within their cohort.
The Group is also contributing to the planning of the ACT Housing and Homelessness Summit planned for October 2017.
