Stakeholder requirements for enabling regulatory arrangements for community housing in Australia

Both Commonwealth and state governments are committed to growing the community housing sector as an independent, complementary social housing system. This will require new investment, new partnerships and an increased capacity to manage more flexibly. A major obstacle to these objectives is the lack of quality assurance, effective risk management and prudential control in this sector. This project will inform governments of the criteria that must be met by effective regulatory options. It will be a critical piece of research during the renegotiation of the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement, helping governments to make informed decisions on the extent to which they can devolve social housing provision to the community housing sector
