Sustaining high risk Indigenous tenancies

Summary

The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of the operation of programs in public and private rental housing designed to sustain Indigenous tenancies at risk and of the factors that contribute to their effectiveness. The project seeks to describe, compare and analyse the operation of tenancy support programs across jurisdictions and between rental sectors (public and private), with a particular emphasis on programs for Indigenous tenants. The project's focus is on the interface between program funders and service providers and the ways in which providers deliver services to their clients.


Project Number: 80372
Research Theme: Care and Support Services
Project Leader: Flatau, Paul
Funding Year: 2007

Description

Previous AHURI research on sustaining tenancies has been focused on public housing tenancies. However, many SHAs are unable to meet the demand for public housing and are confronted with increasing wait list times. In this context, the private rental market assumes new significance. Yet little is known about private sector tenancy support initiatives and programs.

Anticipated outcomes of this research include:

  • A resource with the capacity to influence the development of future initiatives to sustaining tenancies in the private rental market, with emphasis on Indigenous tenants;
  • An understanding of the interactions between funders and services funded to sustain tenancies and the impact of these interactions on outcomes
  • An improved understanding of why particular initiatives produce certain outcomes.
