Overview

Despite national and international evidence suggesting the lifetime significance of gender as a key determinant in housing outcomes and housing assistance recipiency, no comprehensive approach to understanding gender and its role in housing currently exists in Australia, nor internationally. 

This project aims to develop a framework for assessing the gendered nature of housing. It will establish a national evidence-base of gendered housing opportunities, pathways, assistance and impacts, and examine the adequacy of gender data and reporting to directly inform policy and practice development opportunities.
