Driving maximum benefit: lessons from a quarter century of public housing transfers  

Driving maximum benefit: lessons from a quarter century of public housing transfers  

Fuelled by government transfers of public housing, community housing providers (CHPs) have grown to manage nearly a third of Australia’s social housing. Transfer programs aim to boost efficiency, improve tenant outcomes and grow community housing – but recent changes to scale, contracts and resourcing have led to mixed results.

What housing transfer settings best enable CHPs to expand, improve tenant experience, and grow social housing stock?

In this webinar we explored research findings from the AHURI Final Report ‘Public housing transfers: longer-term impacts on investment, tenant experience and sector outcomes’ with lead author Dr Edgar Liu, Senior Research Fellow at UNSW Sydney, and Mark Degotardi, CEO of Australian Community Housing, facilitated by Dr Tom Alves, AHURI Head of Development.
