Melbourne’s ‘doughnut city’ housed its homeless

The problem with most public housing ‘renewal’ programs is that the residents have the least say in what happens to the places they call home. The evidence of housing research is also being ignored.

Public housing ban on people with drug records likely to do more harm than good, research tell us

Social mix in housing? One size doesn’t fit all, as new projects show

America’s public housing crisis may worsen with Trump budget

Since the 1990s, the supply of deeply subsidized housing has decreased as the US population and need for housing have increased. Trump’s proposed cuts to HUD won’t help.
