Allocating social housing

Allocations are at the core of social housing provision, and this project is documenting the state of practice in Australian social housing allocations systems. It also aims to provide ideas and data from Australia and overseas to facilitate changes to these systems in response to a changing social housing context. In particular, the project examines the role of choice and of discretionary decision making, and the use of multiple allocations systems within a single social housing agency. The project is funded by AHURI.
