AHURI has launched the COVID-19 Research Agenda with our partner universities to further build and support housing and urban policy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Children, adolescents and young adults are one of the largest user groups of homelessness services. In 2017–18, there were 81,193 young parents and accompanying children and 43,200 adolescents and young adults presenting alone to Specialist Homelessness Services.

In the coming months, most organisations will face significant disruptions, including restrictions on meetings and events. We are pleased to update you on our continuing research publishing and engagement program for the foreseeable future.

Government policies that define a tenant’s experience in social housing over time as ‘successful’ if they leave and ‘unsuccessful’ if they stay, can lead to poor outcomes, new AHURI research reveals. The research was undertaken for AHURI by researchers from the University of Adelaide and uses long term data to explore the entry and exit patterns of Australians who are living in, or have lived in, social housing.

AHURI is currently re-evaluating our public conference and events program in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The health and safety of attendees at AHURI events is our number one priority.
