This research explores how property technology is used in Australia’s private and social rental sectors and examines the implications of this for individuals and housing access, and whether existing policy and legal frameworks are fit-for-purpose.
The global housing affordability ‘crisis’ highlights a policy failure shared across many jurisdictions and countries: a disconnect between the affordability challenge and capacity to act. The article draws on a series of stakeholder interviews involved in the design and delivery of public housing estate renewal in Australia.
This research aims to deepen our understanding of the design and impact of the ‘machinery of government’ – the administrative, bureaucratic or institutional arrangements that deliver public policy – with respect to housing policy in Australia.
This paper presents Autonomous Urban Resource Al locator (AURA), a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning system for real-time affordable housing site selection under hard regulatory constraints.
Homelessness and mental illness reinforce each other through a cyclical relationship, and addressing this crisis requires integrated, housing‑centered interventions.
This study examines the extent to which housing allowances and social housing protect against housing precarity experienced by low-income renters using Australian and UK data.
Older women are the fastest-growing group at risk of homelessness in Australia, with financial avoidance behaviours amplifying this risk. Between 2023 and 2024, Sefa, Latitude, and Housing Choices, researched these behaviours and piloted a low cost, high-reach social media intervention using the COM-B and transtheoretical models to prompt recognition, reflection, and action.
This research aims to answer the question “which types of interventions support access to care for people experiencing homelessness?” and thus provide evidence on the types of interventions that foster access to healthcare services for people experiencing homelessness.
