Expressions of Interest are open for a project that will national guidance on the design and implementation of temporary emergency housing.
The Insights into temporary and emergency accommodation project will capture learnings and improve temporary housing supports for people impacted by a disaster to move into stable housing. Using a case study approach, the research will hear the real-life experiences of recovery practitioners and community members around Australia.
There are three main components to the research:
- Case studies involving research focusing on six Australian states and territories in five different contexts to learn from disaster responses that provided temporary and emergency accommodation. Case studies will capture different approaches taken in various contexts and typologies, including working with First Nations peoples. Case studies are likely to be in different states and territories, covering both remote, rural and urban areas with different scenarios such as caravans, relocations, fixed dwellings, and different social contexts, e.g. disability, domestic, violence, gender and age-related needs.
- Resource development for practitioners to support cross-sectoral planning for post-disaster temporary housing and the necessary associated supports and services.
- Development of generic journey maps for community members to assist in understanding the process to access and supports available to move into stable housing.
On online briefing scheduled for 2pm AEST 24 May will provide a more detailed briefing of the project and the opportunity for interested parties to pose specific questions. Register to attend.
EOI submissions are due by 5pm AEST 7 June 2024.
