Read the latest regional and local news on housing and homelessness from NRSDC.

Exciting news of a Northern Rivers e-directory which a) includes housing and homelessness service information and b) will be updated regularly.  Vicki Findlay (Interrelate) has been involved with the newly established Richmond Valley Homelessness & Support Action Group and believes the Family Law Pathways directory she is establishing could also satisfy the need identified by housing and homelessness service providers in the broader region.  Please see this Word document and get your information to Vicki  as soon as possible.   You can contact Vicki by email   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Recently launched in the Northern Rivers, Australians for Affordable Housing is a campaign established by national housing, welfare and community sector organisations to highlight the problem of housing affordability in Australia. The campaign aim is to demonstrate the lack of affordable housing and put pressure on governments to deliver solutions. The campaign will produce a flow of stories that highlight the problem - for different demographics, localities, and tenures, and then follow up with series of stories that promote solutions.

If you or people you know  are  able to share your story about unaffordable housing costs, go online at www.housingstressed.org.au It would be great if the campaign includes an account of this issue in our region. Alternatively you could email comments directly to the campaign manager, Sarah Toohey at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
