Strengthening Connections at the Homelessness NSW Conference

We were honored to be part of the vital conversations happening at the Homelessness NSW Conference on Wednesday, 11 March. Our very own Wendy Francis (HANZA Homeshare Development Officer) took the stage alongside our partners at Hunter Homeshare for a timely and crucial session:


“Recognising the growing crises: addressing housing security for older people.”

The Big Takeaway

We were pleased by the positive feedback and the clear appetite for innovative housing solutions. It’s heartening to see so many sector leaders keen to learn how Homesharing can provide a safe, sustainable, and communal alternative for older people facing housing insecurity.

Curious to know more?

We want to keep the momentum going! Homesharing isn't just about a roof over someone's head; it’s about:


  • Combatting social isolation through companionship.
  • Increasing security for older homeowners.
  • Providing affordable options for those seeking a home.
