We’re recognised for our unique transdisciplinary approach to social housing research. When you partner with HOME, you benefit from our world-class research expertise and network of varied partners.
As the only research centre at Deakin combining researchers from all four faculties into one interdisciplinary group, our 30+ strong team enables a holistic understanding and approach to complex housing issues.
Our researchers bring together communities, not-for-profit organisations, industry and government to co-design unique solutions and create affordable, sustainable and inclusive housing.
HOME’s work is guided by our vision to provide ‘a home for all’ – affordable, safe, well-designed, sustainable and connected housing for everyone. In turn, our research findings help inform better policy interventions to build stronger cities, suburbs and neighbourhoods.
The HOME team is supported by members who represent each faculty and is led by our two renowned co-directors.
