Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute

The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) is a national not-for-profit independent network organization that funds, conducts, disseminates, and tailors research on housing and homelessness. AHURI aims to deliver policy-relevant information for better housing and urban development across Australia. The organization's funding is received from state and territory government grants, contributions from partner universities, and third parties.[1] AHURI has 15 university partners that cluster into seven research centres across Australia.

Through the National Housing Research Program (NHRP), AHURI has funded over 250 research projects and published over 700 policy-oriented, high quality housing research reports and policy development summaries since 2000. The National Housing Research Program (NHRP) is building an evidence-base of practical applied research to support policy development, and is adding new knowledge to housing studies and related disciplines. The NHRP Research Agenda is updated annually to provide direction in the development of this evidence-base and to set priorities for the annual funding round. The Research Agenda is developed through consultation with the AHURI Board, government housing Chief Executives, the Australian Government, relevant state and territory governments, Research Centre Directors and the NHRP Research Panel.
