Older women were already the fastest growing cohort of the homeless before COVID struck. There is now a very real concern that many will never work again. This has not been helped by a significant lack of explicit policy measures in the recent budget to invest in sectors employing women and those over 50.

Over 100 people attended the online launch two reports on LGBTI older people, housing and homelessness in Victoria. Watch the presentation here!

You are invited to the launch of two reports:

“At Risk: understanding the population size and demographics of older women at risk of homelessness in Australia”, commissioned by Social Ventures Australia, written by Dr Debbie Faulkner and Laurence Lester, University of Adelaide

“Older women in the private rental sector: unaffordable, substandard and insecure housing” by Dr Emma Power, Western Sydney University.

This event will be held on Zoom - Please Register and you will be emailed a link to access the meeting on the day prior to the event.

Brief presentations will be followed by Q&A.
