New AHURI research reveals supported accommodation services often fail to meet the needs of unaccompanied children and young people and proposes a care continuum to guide Australia to a better system.

University of Tasmania Associate Professor Dr Catherine Robinson, who led the research, said the scale of need was under-recognised.

AHURI’s latest report investigates the long-term impacts of transferring public housing dwellings to community housing providers and draws lessons to inform more effective strategies.

The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) is proud to announce 18 new projects that will form the 2026 National Housing Research Program.

Funded by Federal, state and territory governments, the 2026 research program will investigate critical issues in housing and homelessness policy and practice.
