The strategy contains clear actions for all partners in the housing sector, including government and non-government, to work together to contribute to meeting the level of need highlighted in the findings of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) report, which you can read below. The strategy includes actions to increase the supply of affordable housing, with 20,000 affordable housing outcomes over 10 years, directly in response to the findings of the AHURI report. It also includes a range of actions to improve housing pathways and modernise the social housing system, to help current social housing tenants on moderate incomes to access other housing options (including affordable home ownership) where possible, making social housing available to those in our communities who need it most, for the time that they need it.
