    Interview with Shorna Moore

    Interview with Shorna Moore

    A few weeks ago Nyah, Bridie and Freddie chatted to Shorna Moore, a social justice lawyer and advocate at the Melbourne City Mission, about the Home Time Campaign, which aims to fix the housing system in Australia for young people.

    Nearly 40 thousand young people between the ages of 15 and 24 do not have somewhere to live each night, and the Home Time campaign is proposing all levels of government take action on developing youth tenancies, youth independence transitional services and addressing the rental gap in the current housing crisis.

    For more information and to sign onto the campaign you can visit www.hometime.org.au.
