Lived Experience
AHURI recognises the important opportunities our conferences can provide for people who contribute their lived experience perspectives within the housing and homelessness sectors.
We encourage the inclusion of lived experience voices in our conference program, offering a range of personal and professional development and networking opportunities for people with lived experience of housing vulnerability.
Please see below for the documents setting out AHURI's commitments relating to lived experience participation in our events:
