Housing Affordability, Central City Economic Productivity and the Lower Income Labour Markets

This project evaluated four case studies using a Context-Mechanism-Outcome framework to explore how state government has delivered affordable housing through a variety of innovations. ”¢ The research is part of an evidence-based Inquiry titled ‘Increasing affordable housing supply: evidence-based principles and strategies for Australian policy and practice’. ”¢ The four case studies are the WA Affordable Housing Strategy, the East Kimberley Housing Transitions Program, the ACT Affordable Housing Action Plan and the NSW Asset Vesting Program. ”¢ Affordable housing is defined in many different ways across the Strategies/Programs and a consistent definition should be adopted by all levels of government.
