The number of Australians living without secure housing grows every year. Increasingly this community is reaching out to our public libraries for shelter, connection to others and access to resources and services. Despite this relationship, there are no public policies to guide libraries in supporting this community or in partnering with housing agencies. Using a process of particpatory design with the homeless community, public library staff and users, and housing agencies, the research builds theoretical frameworks and public policy foundations to support the design of public library services, resources and environments that will meet the needs of the Australian homeless community in our urban, regional and remote contexts.

没有安全住房的澳大利亚人人数每年都在增加。这个社区越来越多地向我们的公共图书馆寻求庇护，与他人联系，并获得资源和服务。尽管有这种关系，但没有公共政策指导图书馆支持这一社区或与住房机构合作。使用与无家可归的社区，公共图书馆工作人员和用户，和住房机构的参与设计过程中，研究建立理论框架和公共政策基础，以支持公共图书馆服务，资源和环境，将满足澳大利亚无家可归的社区在我们的城市，区域和偏远地区的需求设计。
