Housing and Social Justice forum

In March 2018, All Saints hosted a forum on the critical role of housing in the just treatment of the many thousands in our community who have no access to the private rental market and who are forced to live without affordable, secure housing, with all of the mental and physical health issues associated with this. The forum was held in the context of impending demolition of the public housing estate opposite the church, in Walker Street, Northcote. This estate has since been demolished and all tenants have been relocated to alternative housing while the site is redeveloped to provide for a smaller number of people to be housed in properties managed by community housing providers, and a much larger number of properties to be available for private sale.
