Abstract

This is the Final Report of a study into entering assisted rental housing, whether that be public housing or private rental supported by rent assistance (RA). The study outlines the findings of two large client surveys: one of 2,326 applicants on a waiting list for public housing, and one of 2,493 RA recipients who are not on a waiting list for social housing. The former are mainly from the private rental sector but include a few in other living arrangements, e.g. boarding houses. The latter are entirely resident in the private rental sector. The study is in effect a consumer study in that its focus is on clients’ perceptions of their experiences of living in private rental and their future housing expectations. Complementing both these surveys is a smaller post-occupancy survey to measure the views and experiences of those clients who have made the transition from the waiting list to actual public housing allocation.
