Housing Assistance and the Life Course: Understanding the Impact of Policy Alternatives

澳大利亚政府面临着越来越大的压力，要帮助低收入和弱势家庭获得负担得起的适当住房。超过10万澳大利亚人无家可归，130万家庭面临住房压力。这个项目将回答这样一个问题：什么形式的住房援助对弱势个人和整个社会都能产生最好的结果？它通过采访低收入购房者、私人租户和公共租户来做到这一点。这项研究将通过帮助政府在向弱势群体提供住房援助方面做出更好的决定来加强澳大利亚的社会结构。

Australian governments are confronted by increasing pressure to assist low-income and vulnerable households gain access to affordable and appropriate housing. Over 100,000 Australians are homeless and 1.3 million households experience housing stress. This project will answer the question, what form of housing assistance generates the best outcomes for both vulnerable individuals and society as a whole? It does so through interviews with low income home purchasers, private tenants and public tenants. The research will strengthen Australia's social fabric by helping governments make better decisions around housing assistance to vulnerable groups.
