SUMMARY:Why so little social housing? The politics of Australian housing policy
DESCRIPTION:Terry Burke is Professor of Housing studies at Swinburne University. He is one of Australia’s most well-known academic researchers and conceived\, developed\, and taught Swinburne’s suite of social  housing management courses (Grad Cert\, Dip and Masters in Housing Management and Policy).

The workshop equips participants to understand: \n\nWhy\, despite substantial evidence of housing failure\, there is very little policy reform in Australia.\nWhy the few policy changes we have seen are a much part of the problem as a solution.\nWhat is it in the make of the Australian governance and housing systems social housing cannot get greater political take up?\nWhether the COVID19 crisis will make any real difference to the future of social housing and if so how?\n\nIt would be suitable for: \n\nManagement and team leaders\nStaff with responsibility for tenancy and property management\nAnybody interested in Australia’s current housing problems.

SUMMARY:Having money conversations with tenants
DESCRIPTION:Talking about money with tenants is a skill.   According to research\, 50% of adults believe that sharing personal money matters is taboo.  When you factor that statistic into the landlord/tenant relationship\, it is easy to see why it can be so difficult to encourage tenants to be honest about their finances.

SUMMARY:VI-SPDAT or The Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool Training
DESCRIPTION:Online webinar delivered by: Iain De Jong – President and CEO of Org Code. Based in Canada Org Code created the VI-SPDAT. \nThe VI-SPDAT is a prescreen instrument designed to help organisations and communities interested in ending homelessness to identify homeless adults\, youth and families that have increased vulnerability and risks to future housing stability. \nAcross 15 different thematic areas\, the VI-SPDAT uses a range of questions and styles of questions to help better identify who would be best served by different types of supports and housing\, while also providing an unparalleled understanding of the strengths and opportunities to better support and serve people based upon depth of need rather than first come\, first served or other subjective approaches to engaging with people who are homeless.
