Published 2 months ago
Description
As women age, many joke about becoming “invisible”, but in Australia’s housing crisis, invisibility has devastating consequences. Women over 55 are now the fastest‑growing group at risk of homelessness, while the housing system fails to provide safe, secure, and dignified options that meet their needs. But there are those working on this problem now who say the solutions are not that hard to find.
Guests:
- Dr Dionne Payn, Founder Women 4 Homes
- Dr Samantha Donnelly, Lecturer in the School of Architecture, UTS
- Tracey Tromph, older single woman living alone
