440,000 older Aussies risk not having housing by 2031

Abstract

New research has found that hundreds of thousands of lower-income Australians aged 50 and over will be without suitable housing in less than a decade. The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) released the findings in a new report, which examines how Australia could deliver the types of housing required by individuals who are in or approaching retirement, and who do not have affordable, secure housing.

The final report, titled ‘Inquiry into housing policies and practices for precariously housed older Australians’, was undertaken for AHURI by researchers from University of South Australia, RMIT University, Curtin University and Flinders University.
