EVERYONE WELCOME!

What is affordable? Everyone has their own opinion and not everyone is aligned, from online bloggers, to academics, political activists and even different levels of government. Join our expert moderator and panelists who can shed some light on to what their definition of ‘affordable’ housing is, how do we benchmark our success for delivering more ‘affordable’ housing options and how we can all work together to achieve a common goal.

Everyone welcome!
