Residents of the Northern Territory experience the highest rates of homelessness in the nation. Housing disadvantage is inextricably linked to poverty, with adverse implications for educational, health and employment outcomes.

Hosted by NT Council of Social Service and NT Shelter for Anti-Poverty Week 2020.   Peter McMillan, NT Shelter Executive Officer, will highlight the importance of the Everybody’s Home campaign and its relevance in the context of the Northern Territory’s unique housing challenges. He will draw the connection between the ongoing existence and impacts of poverty in the Northern Territory and the lack of social and affordable housing, and outline why it makes both social and economic sense to build more housing now. Peter will also set-out a path for how the Northern Territory can ensure all residents have access to safe, secure and affordable housing while supporting the building and construction sector to get the job done.
