This Inquiry examined how governments have sought to increase the supply of affordable housing across the continuum of housing needs (i.e. from social housing to affordable rental and home ownership), and the implications for transferring policy and practice to different jurisdictions and market contexts.

In this study six recently completed affordable housing developments across Australia were analysed to ascertain how affordable housing project costs, revenues and subsidies interact to produce affordable housing.

This study investigated the capacity constraints affecting Australia’s affordable housing industry, which is critical to addressing the housing needs of low-income Australians.

This research examines the affordable housing industry’s current profile and capacity to expand housing options for lower income households.

The research responds to the longstanding policy-maker and industry interest in improving performance metrics for Australian social housing; a sector encompassing both the public housing authorities and the not-for-profit landlord entities which cater for low and very low-income households.
