This research focuses on Australia’s small but growing affordable housing industry, and its capacity to restructure the social housing system to better deliver housing for low-moderate income households.

The key questions for the Inquiry are:

1. What can be learned about the capacity of Australia’s affordable housing industry from recent transfers from the public housing sector?

2. What can be learned from overseas experience of social housing restructuring and affordable housing industry development?

3. How can Australian governments and industry players most effectively grow capacity in the affordable housing industry?

Underpinned by four supporting research projects, the study will assist governments in fostering the additional capacity needed to facilitate further transitioning of public housing into not for profit agency control.
