The forum will focus on encouraging a range of local solutions to the national affordable housing crisis.

This year's event will also showcase the work and projects that have progressed since 2018, including a tiny home prototype and community land trust initiative.

With great speakers coming from near and far the forum is about exploring the local solutions for affordable housing that can work in our region.

Keynote speakers include Dr Gregory P Smith (Southern Cross University) and Adrian Pisarski (National Shelter). There will be a Tiny Home tour during the forum and an Expo of various housing services and specialists.

There will be a Fundraiser Dinner tomorrow night at 6pm at Cedar Bar Kitchen, Bellingen - proceeds will go to support the work of the Action Group into the future.

The forum will continue sharing information that encourages groups of people and relevant stakeholders to take great ideas forward and turn them into practical actions.

We hope that people who come to the forum will continue developing affordable housing in the Bellingen, Nambucca and greater Mid North Coast region- because together we can make a difference!
