Australia’s homelessness crisis is growing, particularly in the big cities. But although the problem is often on their doorsteps, local councils have been feeling powerless. With most powers in the hands of Canberra or the states, what can councils do? In this episode of The Churchill Collective, host Adam Spencer investigates this pressing issue with anthropologist and writer Leanne Mitchell, a Churchill Fellow who went overseas to fill an Australian knowledge gap. The discussion highlights innovative global solutions to homelessness and how they can be adapted locally. Leanne shares her insights from her international research, emphasising prevention strategies and the crucial role of local governments in tackling this complex issue.
