Tenure diversification strategies that involve the transfer of public housing to alternative forms of ownership or management have been an important part of the operational management plans of a number of state housing authorities in Australia since at least the early 1990s. In this research project Bill Randolph and Martin Wood will undertake the first review of the extent and nature of tenure diversification in the public housing sector in Australia and make an initial assessment of the effectiveness of this approach in meeting a range of objectives.
