Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: The Foreword commences: The year in which Shelter NSW turned 44 we decided it was time to document its history. This book not only captures the history of housing advocacy in New South Wales but takes every opportunity to position housing advocacy in the broader social, economic and political context, and each chapter paints a picture about how the players responded to or leveraged this in pursuit of the vision for a fair and just housing system. This book is frank and honest in its interpretation and narrative, which bring to life many of the activists, prominent characters and quiet achievers committed to housing justice. It highlights the people, the champions, the struggles and the challenges that endured in broader society during this period. In reviving these stories it illuminates the gems, the personal recollections and anecdotes of these champions, many of whom have passed on yet remain legends and even heroes.
