Policy

This chapter presents a case study of the United States’ federally led mission to eradicate homelessness, focusing on the early twenty-first century.
In this overview, we highlight structural and individual risk factors that can lead to homelessness, explore evidence on the relationship between homelessness and health, discuss programmatic and policy innovations, and provide policy recommendations.
This paper compares shifts in tenure (restructuring of rental sectors), housing conditions (affordability and precarity), and alternative housing situations (parental co-residence), between income groups in two contexts: Australia and the Netherlands.
Demand-side policy settings designed to lift home ownership rates over the past four decades, have in fact worsened costs for first home buyers in Australia. From a policy perspective, a systemic fall in home ownership is likely to place increasing fiscal pressure on governments and may exacerbate existing economic inequalities as individuals age.
Housing is a complex system and we argue that thinking about the separate components of housing in isolation, we are unable to consider the resiliency of housing as a whole system. The purpose of this paper is to inform and help structure resilient housing policy and strategy development in SEQ.
This scoping review identified the extent of research evidence and gaps in the domains of domestic violence, health, homelessness, natural disasters, and animal welfare.
Housing is a catalyst of growth in our regions; therefore, the lack of housing investment is a handbrake on regional growth.
The purpose of this report is to summarise the range of rent regulations internationally and to present considerations for how rent regulation might be implemented in NSW.
