Service integration and Indigenous housing

Summary

This project will build on a previous AHURI study (Project 20336). It will review the current social housing service delivery provisions for Indigenous households, examine the operation of a variety of these housing service models and how they interact in a selection of geographical contexts that have adopted different mixes of mainstream and specialised service delivery. It will also appraise recent developments in international approaches to service delivery to Indigenous households in urban settings and develop principles and practices to guide any integration endeavour in the social housing service delivery system for Indigenous households.

Description

Previous AHURI research has found that addressing integration appropriately in housing service delivery to Indigenous households warranted further empirical research. The research questions and methodology for the study will:

  • Review the current social housing service delivery provisions for Indigenous households, especially noting recent developments.
  • Examine the operation of a variety of these housing service models and how they interact in a selection of geographical contexts that have adopted different mixes of mainstream and specialised service delivery.
  • Appraise recent developments in international approaches to service delivery to Indigenous households in urban settings.
  • Develop principles and practices to guide any integration endeavour in the social housing service delivery system for Indigenous households.
The research team combines established AHURI researchers with Indigenous researchers with strong research skills as well as specialised knowledge of Indigenous service delivery models.
