Abstract
This study explores the ways households experience pathways into, within and out of the Australian social housing system. Managing social housing waiting lists and encouraging people to exit social housing is a key concern for policy-makers, however housing market failure in Australia is such that the private rental market is largely inaccessible, unaffordable and insecure for households on low incomes.
