ABSTRACT

Since 2001, social housing levels, traditionally a safety net for low-income households, have stagnated in Victoria. To increase social housing levels, the Victorian state government announced a programme to redevelop ageing public housing estates through public–private partnerships. This study compares private sector, community housing sector, and government-led redevelopment models, to determine which provides the best value for money method of redevelopment. Importantly, considering the Victorian government’s plans to increase social housing levels post-COVID19, the study found that the government is best placed to deliver social housing, due, in part, to lower borrowing costs and no requirement for making profit.

摘要

自2001年以来，维多利亚州一直处于传统上为低收入家庭提供安全网的社会住房水平。为了提高社会住房水平，维多利亚州政府宣布了一项计划，通过公私伙伴关系来重建老化的公共住房。这项研究比较了私营部门，社区住房部门和政府主导的重建模型，以确定哪种方法提供了最佳的物有所值的重建方法。重要的是，考虑到维多利亚州政府在COVID19之后提高社会住房水平的计划，该研究发现，政府最有能力交付社会住房，这部分是由于降低了借贷成本，并且不需要盈利。
