24 September 2010A profile of social housing in Australia provides an overview of the different social housing programs that have been provided under the 2003 Community Social Housing Agreement, including public rental housing, state owned and managed Indigenous housing, community housing, and Indigenous community housing; as well as changes that occurred in social housing over the duration of the agreement. In analysing the functions of social housing during this period, this report provides a crucial evidence base upon which the National Affordable Housing Agreement and future policies can be built. This report comes at a time of significant change in housing policy and provides valuable context to the new environment under the National Affordable Housing Agreement.
