Renting & Housing Network ACT

ACT Shelter manages this online forum (or community of practice) for community sector workers who work with renters in the ACT in any capacity.

It is a place to share your experiences and news, ask questions and raise issues to help each other.  You don’t need to be working for a housing organisation.

Importantly it also provides ACT Shelter with a way to hear from you and share news about housing related issues, resources and events.

There is no need to commit to meetings or times, just check whenever you want or save it for asking questions.  You can:

  • Ask questions on anything to do with renting and housing
  • Share your experiences and help answer questions,
  • Share news or updates relevant to people work with people who rent in Canberra.

 

Notes:

  • If you are seeking a forum as a renter yourself we encourage you to go to #CanberraRenters.

Our vision is to foster stronger connections among workers, enabling us to better support renters and identify changes needed. This will ensure everyone in the ACT can have stable, affordable and liveable homes.
