Innovations in the provision of affordable housing
Summary
Not-for-profit organisations in Australia have potential to increase the available stock of affordable housing for low and moderate income households. All governments in Australia have been active in introducing funding, policy and regulatory strategies that enable not-for-profit providers to develop affordable housing. Around 40 not-for-profit organisations across Australia have recent experience producing affordable housing and aspire to expand this function. To achieve further growth requires clear policy guidance from governments, a long term public investment strategy and a mechanism for raising larger quantities of private finance. Diverse and better models of affordable housing are well established in many countries including Austria, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. This project updated the research conducted in AHURI project 60191.
