HI Reuben,
I don’t think there is the option to insert docs or links within the group discussion. Could this be added? Or did I miss something? Thanks, Kobi

I,m a bit of an old luddite.. not really an issue I guess as its not hard to do separate posts. I did also want to attach a PdF document for which I couldn’t find the URL but coul…[Read more]

Hey Reuben, Possible to include “Forums” at the top of the site, alongside Groups, Our Community etc.? Also wondering about the “Our Community” posts and whether we try to shift personal comments to the NASH private forum? Or just let it go and advise the group that we’re going to expand the trial and therefore they should remove anything th…[Read more]

Great update and such encouraging outcomes from this initiative. What do we need to do to get the government to fund this service? You’ve proven that the approach works.
Kobi replied to the topic Who are the politicans taking action for older people's housing? 👷 in the forum 📣 Housing Campaigns 2 years, 6 months ago
Interesting that at the ACOSS post-budget event last week Minister Sukkar spontaneously brought up older women’s housing during the Q&A (he was asked about housing for single mothers, and he then talked about older women as another potentially vulnerable group). There’s now a recording available if you want to see it – it’s right at the end of…[Read more]

No Tassie members of NASH. We have relationships with people in community/homelessness sector in Tasmania. There are lots of people in NSW and Vic signed onto NASH and fewer in WA, Queensland and only 2 in SA.

Kobi started the topic Moving house 📦 in the forum 🏚 Housing Experiences 2 years, 7 months ago
I’m midway through moving house. It is such a stressful thing to do and there are so many hidden costs, even things like not being able to eat at home for a day or two, not to mention removalists, utility connections etc. And, we only saw the house we’re moving into for about 10 minutes when it was filled with other prospective tenants. Only ju…[Read more]
