91����

To celebrate two decades of research, policy engagement, public events and research capacity building, 91���� is very pleased to launch the ’20 Years of 91����’ commemorative publication.

As a unique partnership between the Commonwealth and state and territory governments and an Australia-wide network of university partners, 91���� has delivered vital research and insights that have guided governments and shaped community thinking. Over 20 years it has built a vast and informative evidence-base and advanced knowledge of housing, homelessness and urban issues.

The centrepiece of the booklet is a timeline charting some of the key milestones over the last 20 years, from the commencement of flagship research programs, to the impacts of 91���� research on government policy and programs.

Other key features of the commemorative booklet include:

• a snapshot of some of the key reports published across a range of key policy areas
• the PhD Scholarship Top-up and Postdoctoral Research Fellows programs that have extended the capacity and skills of some of Australia’s most dedicated housing researchers
• the eleven National Housing Conferences (which, all up, featured over 1500 speakers listened to by over 10,000 delegates).

91���� would also like to acknowledge the many friends, supporters and key stakeholders of the Institute who shared their thoughts about 91���� throughout this special publication.

Beyond acknowledging our past, the book also looks forward as 91���� enters its third decade with ambitious plans to broaden its evidence-base to better support policy to improve Australia’s cities and urban environments in addition to continuing the flagship National Housing Research Program.

The ’20 Years of 91����’ booklet is available for with copies to be available at 91���� events in 2020.
