Indigenous Housing

The research in this theme addresses different aspects of Indigenous housing. It examines:

how housing need is shaped by subjective aspirations and preferences and by trends in family and household formation, labour market participation and residential mobility
the dynamic interrelationships between the different tenures, their associated forms of housing assistance and their role and function in the overall housing system
how housing policy and housing assistance might be designed to assist the development of better environmental health, education and employment outcomes for Indigenous people
the longer-term economic, social, environmental and cultural outcomes of current housing policies and programs
the 'place, house and home' needs of Indigenous peoples and how to address these needs through housing and other service responses that secure sustainable solutions and support stable life conditions.
