Expanding the supply of affordable housing in Australia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Housing affordability in Australia is declining, especially for low-income tenants in the private sector. A number of attempts have been made to attract more private investment into boosting the supply of affordable housing in Australia. However, these attempts have been one-off and small-scale, enjoying very limited success. Large professional and institutional investors continue to avoid the private rental sector in this country.This study, by Mike Berry, of the AHURI RMIT Research Centre, is one of a number of AHURI projects on this subject and is based on, and extends, earlier work carried out for the Affordable Housing National Research Consortium.The study examines the factors behind the pattern of private sector investment and explores a range of ways that governments can overcome current barriers to attract significant volumes of private investment into expanding the supply of affordable housing in Australia.
