• • • • • • Liveability – We are 80% urbanized and spend 90% of our time indoors, so the built environment is our ‘natural’ environment.

Housing must create liveability, positive, nurturing and safe built environments for people.
Equity – It is our duty to improve the future prospects of homeless people who live alone in the worst conditions.

We must address and reduce lonely unsocial conditions and design for brighter inspiring futures.

Conviviality – Humans are social animals; our health is linked to our social networks.

Housing homeless people must encourage and support social networks, and not foster social isolation or segregation.

Viability – We are what we eat, drink, breath, think and speak.
Developing social interaction and working skills programs along with encouraging sustainable living patterns can rehabilitate and create initiative and individual viability.

Prosperity – Individuals need enough wealth to acquire basic needs for health, housing and wellbeing.

Assistance with job placement, computer skills and business and social interaction will build personal esteem and prosperity.
We ARE going this way anyway… We might as well do it WELL And create outstanding possibilities FROM the future Wendy Talbot 0414 215 222 © Copyright to Mega Sports Management – Wendy Talbot 0414 215 222
