Beyond the waitlist: re-imagining Australia's social housing system

Beyond the waitlist: re-imagining Australia's social housing system

The number of households applying for social housing has increased in recent years, while housing allocations have dropped in most jurisdictions.

With constraints on social housing availability set to continue for some time, could the social housing system be re-imagined to offer greater support for more people?

This webinar will unpack new AHURI research from the Final Inquiry Report 'Inquiry into socially supported housing pathways', which looks at the commitments, design principles, and institutional changes needed to create a system of socially supported housing pathways. Discussion will explore why Australia's social housing system needs to be re-imagined, and what improved assistance could look like.

Lead researcher, Dr Chris Martin, The University of New South Wales will discuss the key findings of the research with David Fisher, CEO Housing Choices Australia, facilitated by Dr Rachel Trigg, Head of Research Program, AHURI.

Who should attend: Anyone shaping or implementing policy relating to social housing, or anyone working in, impacted by, or wishing to see change to the social housing system in Australia.
 

This webinar will be recorded and will be available to watch On Demand.
