About Us

AHURI Limited is a not-for-profit independent national research organisation which brokers, conducts and disseminates high-quality research on housing, homelessness and urban issues to inform the policies and practices of governments, industry, and the community and stimulating debate in the broader Australian community.

Our mission:
"To deliver high quality, policy-relevant evidence for better housing and urban outcomes"

AHURI is a unique venture.
A professional research management company works with a collaborative network of seven Research Centres drawing together expert researchers from eleven universities throughout Australia.

Through its National Housing Research Program, AHURI Limited currently invests around $3.2 million annually in high quality policy-oriented housing research and associated activities.

Funding is received from three sources: government grants from the Australian and all State and Territory governments; contributions from the Institute’s University partners; and third parties.

National Housing Research Program

The National Housing Research Program is an annual $4 million program focussed on housing policy. This program receives funding from Federal, state and territory housing ministers through their housing departments.

National Homelessness Research Network

The National Homelessness Research Network is an open access research network to contribute to the cumulative evidence base on homelessness through high quality research and active engagement with the policy and practice communities. The network is supported through AHURI Limited.

National Cities Research Program

The proposed National Cities Research Program would be an integrated national program, essential for the development of strategic, evidence-based policy for cities.
