Jon Hall and Mike Berry / Australian Housing

Government-assisted or sponsored public
housing represents a keycomponent of
affordable housing in Australia, yet at end of the
2005/06financial year the total stock of
public housing has again fallen well belowthat
which applied in 2000/01. This report argues that if
funding is notforthcoming, the only option for
reducing or freezing the additional fundingrequirement
is to sell stock and therefore further reduce
the number ofhouseholds provided with
longer-term assistance.
