Abstract

This report is the final report in a series for the AHURI Inquiry into understanding and reimagining social housing pathways. Housing pathways are the housing experiences of tenants and their households over time and space. They are not linear and may refer to changes in tenure, household form, experiences and attachment. This Inquiry draws on a range of data to understand: 1) how social housing pathways are conceptualised and constructed by operational housing policies and the wider social policy context in Australia; 2) what survey and administrative data tell us about who is moving into and out of social housing; and, 3) the lived experience of people who have moved into, within and/or out of social housing. These findings are brought together in this report to reimagine social housing pathways for positive housing outcomes for current and future tenants.
