Aims to maximise health outcomes by generating new knowledge on improving housing and neighbourhoods, enabling active community participation.
Research projects will examine the allocation and investment in social housing and how social housing and planning policies support the health and wellbeing of people with disability.
Outcomes will be recommendations on optional approaches to allocate and invest in housing & neighbourhoods for better health outcomes.
