This project is part of the ‘Inquiry into supporting pathways in a social housing system’, led by Chris Martin (UNSW).

  • Project dates: 2022–2023

This project investigates prospects for improving on social housing applications and the waiting list as the primary mediators of access to housing assistance. It will analyse waiting list dynamics, and applicant and agency perspectives on the experience of waiting and alternative forms of assistance. It will consider the implications of rights-based approaches to housing assistance entitlements.
