Homelessness: the problem that can be solved

July 08, 2021 • Philanthropy Australia • Season 2 • Episode 14

Homelessness has often been treated as a problem that cannot be solved. But what if there are ways to make a difference, by taking a more strategic approach? Listen to Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellow, David Pearson, outline a way forward that offers an end to homelessness.

Join David, Philanthropy Australia and Sidney Myer Fund & The Myer Foundation for a discussion about philanthropy and ending homelessness on Tuesday, July 20, from 2-3pm: https://events.humanitix.com/philanthropy-australia-and-the-sidney-myer-fund-and-the-myer-foundation-partnership-event

The Myer Foundation and Sidney Myer Fund’s Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellowships support breakthrough solutions to Australia’s most pressing social and environmental challenges. David leads the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness, working to significantly expand the network of individuals, organisations and communities committed to not just addressing or reducing homelessness - but to ending it.

This session will examine the groundbreaking approach successfully rolled out in over 100 communities in the USA and Canada, and explore support for local efforts to end homelessness in Australia.
