AHURI is the only national independent research organisation dedicated

REVIEWED
FINAL REPORT NO. 401
As the Federal Government turned its attention to addressing
housing challenges at a National level, we delivered a timely research
report, Towards an Australian Housing and Homelessness Strategy:
understanding national approaches in contemporary policy. AHURI
is working directly with the Department of Social Services to assist in
the development of a National Housing and Homelessness Plan. We
provided advice and made submissions influencing the development
of the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement and the
Housing Affordability Future Fund.

REVIEWED
FINAL REPORT NO. 388
Our research reports Inquiry into population growth in Australia’s
smaller cities and Private sector involvement in social and affordable
housing were popular downloads from our website. The latter was
particularly timely, published just before the Federal Government
announced the National Housing Accord. Webinar and Discussion
Series panel events in Melbourne and Sydney on Private sector
involvement in social and affordable housing were well attended by
diverse industry, community and policy audiences.
AHURI Managing Director Michael Fotheringham was appointed to the
Housing Supply Expert Panel.
