Your invitation to partner with the National Homelessness Conference 2020

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

homelessnessThe year that changed

JOINTLY CONVENED BY

The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) in partnership with Homelessness Australia (HA) will convene the virtual National Homelessness Conference from Tuesday, 1 to Wednesday, 2 December.

2020 has been a year like no other, with life as we know it totally upended. For most of us, this has meant spending an unprecedented amount of time at home.

But what about those who do not have a home or are at risk of homelessness? How have they navigated the economic impacts, health challenges, legal restrictions on movement and elevated financial precariousness? How do we use the current opportunities to ensure that we have healthy and affordable housing for all?

These questions will be central to the discussion at our first ever virtual National Homelessness Conference to be held on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 December 2020. Under the theme, “The year that changed homelessness”, we will embrace our newfound expertise on digital platforms to bring our community together online to progress the critical issues facing our sector.

The challenges of 2020 make this conference more important than ever – and the support of sponsors in allowing us to deliver a comprehensive online event is equally as important.

We encourage your organisation to consider supporting our virtual conference in 2020. For organisations eager to demonstrate their commitment to this important social issue, to realise their corporate social responsibility or to raise their profile and network with a highly engaged sector, the National Homelessness Conference is the best setting to achieve these objectives.

We look forward to seeing you online this December to continue the important work of the National Homelessness Conference.

Our mission is to inform and impact better housing, homelessness, cities and related urban outcomes through the delivery and dissemination of relevant and authoritative research.

AHURI research informs the decision making of all levels of government, non-government sectors (both private and not-for-profit), peak organisations and the community, and stimulates debate in the media and the broader Australian community.

Together with the Homelessness Australia, AHURI is proud to be jointly convening the National Homelessness Conference 2020.

ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AUSTRALIAHomelessness Australia (HA) is the national peak body for homelessness in Australia.

HA was defunded by the Federal Government in December 2014 but has continued its campaigning and national policy work via a voluntary Board and voluntary specialist Councils that focus on issues related to homelessness, youth and women and children who have experienced domestic and family violence.

Members of the Board and Councils come from state peak bodies and services from every state and territory in Australia. When it was fully operational, HA was responsible for convening the National Homelessness Conference and is delighted to be partnering with AHURI to convene this important national event in sharing evidence-based practice, innovation and solutions to ending homelessness.
