On our first housing episode for 2019!

In the first segment we chat to Alex Fearnside from Urban Coup about cooperative housing in Melbourne. Urban Coup are starting Australia's first inner-urban housing cooperative, and he talks about the environmental and social benefits of living in community. Note: Alex mentions a particular development company and some architecture firms. These are just one of the many options available for people looking to build a cooperative home; find the architect for you at the Australian Institute of Architects' website: http://www.architecture.com.au/events/state-territory/victorian-chapter

In the show's second half we get our monthly update from Fiona from Housing for the Aged Action Group. She talks about the recent report A Crisis in Crisis and HAAG's current campaigns.
