- Abstract
- The Commonwealth government pays rent assistance (RA) to income support recipients who rent in the private sector, to assist with their housing costs. It is paid directly to low income households, a type of assistance usually termed a demand or personal subsidy. This approach differs from other types of housing assistance in Australia, such as those covered by the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement, in which funding goes to housing providers, for example, public housing authorities or community housing agencies, a type of assistance usually termed supply or 'bricks and mortar' subsidies.
