Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter provides a short history of public housing in Australia, highlighting the recent trends of reduced stock, reduced funding and a reduced political commitment to public housing. Despite these negatives, recent Australian research has highlighted the positive impacts of public housing on the lives of public housing tenants. The research also reveals that tenants prefer public housing compared to other forms of housing assistance.
