Making of Community Housing in New South Wales
This PhD research is investigating the development of the generalist community housing industry in New South Wales. Its focus is on changes in the industry between the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s relating to the 1996 Community Housing Strategy.
The aim of the research is to find out how people who worked in, or with community housing organsiations (including housing cooperatives and faith based organisation), industry peaks, or other organisations involved with community housing experienced or contributed to changes in the industry during that time.
See the sections below for information about how you can participate in the research.
Hearing from a wide range of people is important for the research.
The project is open to people who were closely involved with the generalist community housing industry in New South Wales before the mid-2000s, through work or volunteering.
For example, people who worked for community housing organisations, community housing Board or Management Committee members, people involved with community housing peak organisations, welfare or policy workers who were closely involved with community housing in their work, government employees in housing or community services.
