New research commissioned by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute is being undertaken in Melbourne and Launceston, looking the resources needed to provide stable housing outcomes to young people recovering from mental illness.

This project has three key aims. The primary aim is to investigate the role of informal community resources in promoting stable housing outcomes and enhancing social inclusion for young people recovering from a mental illness. The second aim is to identify the neighbourhood factors that potentially moderate the risk of homelessness for youth in recovery. The third aim is to explore how housing policy interventions can strengthen the array of informal community resources available to support stable housing for youth in recovery.
