E137 - Ending Youth Homelessness with Seyi Obakin OBE

Inner-city populations are in decline, while towns like Longford, Brighton and Rokeby are booming. Could the pandemic-induced spike in remote work, combined with soaring inner-city property values, be enticing professionals to relocate to regions?

Booming house prices have increased the inequality already caused by uneven distributions of work and income in Tasmania. Will regional migration create a bigger gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’?

The Future Of Work  Housing And Communities In Crisis

It's often easy to overlook disadvantaged youth, but the problems they face deserve recognition, and there are things we can do to help. So I took a look at the disparity between education levels of disadvantaged young people and those from higher socio-economic backgrounds, and at youth homelessness. I spoke to Anton Leschen, Victorian General Manager of the Smith Family, Emma, a student the Smith Family has helped throughout VCE and tertiary education, and Anthony Grimm, an outreach worker at Open Family Australia.
