Unison Research Lab report launched

Social housing provides safe, secure, long-term homes for some of the most disadvantaged households in the community. Social housing organisations in Australia must deal with expectations to house people with complex needs, build communities and remain financially viable.

A new research report produced by RMIT and Unison Housing shows that the transition into social housing can be precarious for some people, with 43% of tenants exiting their social housing within 18 months.

The report, which will be launched on Thursday in Melbourne, finds that certain groups of people are more vulnerable to losing their social housing. Read the media release here and the full report here.
