Event Description
- Full Description:
- In the context of the national policy debate on Indigenous disadvantage, the management of social housing tenancies and home ownership have assumed critical importance as governments move towards greater conditionality in the provision of services to Indigenous people.
This AHURI Indigenous Multi-Year Research Project (IMYRP) - Aboriginal Lifeworlds, Conditionality and Housing Outcomes - examines the interaction between the conditionalities of housing assistance (e.g., tenancy rules and duties) and Aboriginal lifeworlds (including kinship and social capital), and the effects of this dynamic on achieving sustainable housing outcomes.
The study comprises five case studies, staged over three years, covering remote, regional city and metropolitan settings. In this presentation, we introduce the broader project and explore the findings and issues that have emerged so far in Logan, Mt Isa and Tennant Creek.
