What's the rent?

A SEMINAR FROM SHELTER NSW & THE TENANTS' UNION OF NSW

Sydney, 15 February 2012

The aim of rent subsidies for social housing tenants and Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA) is to deliver affordable rents … but these forms of assistance face a number of pressures:

Financial sustainability of social housing — how can social housing providers balance financial viability with the current rent-setting models?
Workforce participation — are work disincentives inevitable where social housing tenants pay income-based rents, and most CRA recipients’ eligibility is tied to another Centrelink benefit?
Equity — can the division in outcomes between social housing (affordable rents, relative security) and CRA-assisted private rental (rents often still unaffordable, little security) be addressed?

If your agency assists low-income tenants or you are a tenant, ‘What’s the rent?’ is for you. This seminar will investigate current arrangements for delivering affordable rents, and explore directions for reform.
