TY - RPRT AB - Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA), with just under a million recipients, is the most extensive form of government housing assistance for low-income households in Australia. Demand side subsidies in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, whilst varying in detail are typically embedded in income support systems, and thereby driven by reform of welfare programs, rather than specific housing program outcomes such as housing affordability or adequacy of housing conditions. There is no evidence in the four countries that housing allowances have stimulated an increase in the supply of rental housing that is affordable for households in receipt of housing allowances; instead, there is a decreasing supply of affordable housing.
