20 Years of AHURI - Flipbook - Page 26
Looking forward
While we will proactively address new challenges, AHURI will also continue to deliver and develop our existing strengths.
AHURI is the only institution with 20 years of ongoing commitment from all Australian governments.
With the ongoing support of AHURI’s National Housing Research Program, a new commitment to a National Cities
Research Program and strengthening of Professional Services, AHURI will commit to examine priority research topics to
influence policy at all levels of government.
The success of conferences, events and engagement with AHURI research deepen the public’s understanding of the
network and Australia’s key strengths and opportunities in the housing and cities space.

- healthy, cohesive and connected communities and places
- affordable and secure housing for all Australians.
