Securing affordable housing

Somali families

This digital story is about Somali refugee families living in Brisbane. These include families who have experienced extreme shortages and trauma prior to arriving in Australia and who face many structural barriers as they adjust to life here. The setting is a small not-for-profit preschool (kindy). Experiences of poverty in the local community are high. Children who attend the service come from culturally and linguistically diverse families, including families from Somalia. In this digital story, two Somali educators and a Somali parent talk about some of the housing challenges Somali families face in Australia.
