Housing With Dignity Reference Group
The Hobart City Council established the Housing with Dignity Reference Group (HWDRG) in 2019. It's aim is to provide people with a lived experience of homelessness or severe housing stress a voice in the City's response to homelessness.
There is diverse membership and a shared understanding within the group. They use their experience to help the City of Hobart to engage more authentically with the impacts of homelessness.

- reduce stigma in the broader community.
