Preventing first time homelessness amongst older Australians (20730)
|
Maree Petersen
|
UQ
|
This research will contribute to improved responses to first time
homelessness in later life by analysing the nature of the problem, the
precipitating factors and successful interventions.
|
The financing of residential development in Australia (70754)
|
Peter Phibbs
|
UWS
|
This project provides policy makers with an understanding of the
complexity of property finance, its role in the supply of all housing
types and tenures and the impact of the GFC on property lending.
|
Changing spatial distribution of lower-income housing: understanding and responding to transport disadvantage (50713)
|
Terry Burke & Paul Mees
|
Swinburne
|
This project will provide empirical measures of the extent and effects
of transport disadvantage associated with changing spatial
concentrations of lower-income rental housing in Melbourne and Sydney;
and review formal mechanisms between housing and transport policy.
|
Public housing stock transfers in Australia: past, present and prospective (70750)
|
Hal Pawson
|
UNSW
|
This project will investigate stock transfer models in Australia and
identify enabling factors and barriers to more substantial transfers to
third sector housing providers. It will inform and shape the policy
framework for achieving the stated objective of boosting to 35 per cent
the share of social housing under not-for-profit providers.
|
Community Land Trusts and Indigenous communities: from strategies to outcomes (70755)
|
Louise Crabtree
|
UWS
|
Building on a current AHURI research project (70639), this project will develop a working Community Land Trust (CLT) model with
specific Indigenous NSW communities and explore CLT issues in the
Northern Territory.
|
Tall tales and true: housing stories from ABS data (50708)
|
Terry Burke
|
Swinburne
|
| This project updates past key AHURI studies using ABS data to be
released in late 2011 and 2012. These include census and unit record
files of the 2011 Household Expenditure Survey and Survey of Income and
Housing which provide substantial data on the housing experiences of
Australian households. |
Wellbeing outcomes of low-income renters: a multi level analysis of area effects (30706)
|
Sharon Parkinson
|
RMIT |
The project aims to provide a multilevel analysis of the wellbeing
outcomes of low-income renters living in diverse locations. It combines
HILDA, ABS, and ATO data to isolate the area-based level from household
level effects across time. The research helps to inform area-based
policies on social mix and affordability.
|
Housing equity withdrawal: uses and risks of alternative options for older Australians (80716)
|
Rachel Ong
|
Curtin
|
This project will uncover the financial costs and risks of alternative
housing equity withdrawal mechanisms and provide recommendations of
financial products which can mitigate risks associated with withdrawing
housing equity in older age.
|
Understanding decision-making in the not-for-profit housing sector: longitudinal and comparative components (70744)
|
Vivienne Milligan
|
UNSW
|
Building on a current AHURI research project (70689),
this project will contribute to the understanding of third sector
housing organisations (including Indigenous organisations) operating in
the current housing policy, funding and regulatory environment;
supporting the government commitment for the not-for-profit sector to
comprise up to 35 per cent of social housing by 2014. It replicates a
methodology utilised in international comparative projects and builds a
longitudinal study of this group of organisations in Australia.
|
| The edges of home ownership (30764) |
Gavin Wood
|
RMIT
|
This project examines the ‘churn’ on the edges of home ownership to
deepen understanding of entry (affordability), sustainability (risk of
exit through financial stress) and utility (retirees trading-out for
asset-based welfare). The study will be across all age groups with
implications for a number of policy areas including home ownership,
retirement incomes policy, subsidies to first home owners and CRA.
|
Understanding and addressing local opposition to affordable housing projects (70746)
|
Gethin Davison
|
UNSW
|
This project will investigate the underlying causes of local opposition
to affordable housing projects in Australia and generate a robust
evidence package to underpin more effective ways of minimising this
impediment to the supply of affordable housing.
|
Processes for developing affordable and sustainable medium-density housing models for greyfield precincts (50774)
|
Shane Murray
|
Monash
|
| This project will develop a new integrative development model for
greyfields that can contribute to affordable housing provision and build
on outcomes from the Nation Building Economic Stimulus Package. It
extends the research of the AHURI Investigative Panel: Towards a new
development model for housing regeneration in greyfield precincts. |
