Australian references on housing for people with mental illness.
Also see the Australian Housing Urban Research Institute (AHURI) site: http://www.ahuri.edu.au/ The AHURI project "Effective program linkages - an examination of current knowledge with a particular emphasis on people with mental illness" at http://www.ahuri.edu.au/publications/projects/p50018 has a number of relevant publications. Some recent AHURI studies on housing for people with disability by Andrew Beer would also be relevant: "The housing careers of people with a disability and carers of people with a disability" (2009) and "Housing assistance, social inclusion and people with a disability" (2009).
We now have a homelessness clearinghouse website in Australia too: http://www.homelessnessinfo.net.au/
Policy processes to achieve appropriate housing for people with psychiatric disability was the topic of my phd study. Here is a link to the thesis, which also has some ideas about and useful references on housing models: http://catalogue.flinders.edu.au/local/adt/public/adt-SFU20080926.215213/
Here is a link to a short paper on the thesis: http://www.sprc1.sprc.unsw.edu.au/ASPC2009/abstract.asp?PaperID=321
I hope you find this helpful.
regards
Sam Battams

Subject: [SDOH] More resources: Housing for People with Mental Illness
Dear Rita (and others)
The Wellesley Institute's State of the Nation's Housing 2009 report is in the final stages of review and formatting, and we are looking forward to sharing the information as soon as we are able.
In the meantime, the Cities Centre at the University of Toronto has an excellent on-line resource library at http://www.urbancentre.utoronto.ca/
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Canadian Housing Observer has lots of info, including an on-line database (HICO) is located here: http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/corp/about/cahoob/index.cfm
No really good current comparisons exist on social and supportive housing, especially at the international level. OECD has some numbers, but not particularly strong.
An article from 2004 called International Trends in Housing Tenure and Mortgage Finance looks at some key housing trends. Available here: www.cml.org.uk/cml/filegrab/pdf_pub_resreps_51full.pdf.pdf?ref=3870
StatsCanada has a few files that are of interest on the housing side, including:
The Dynamics of Housing Affordability http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/75-001-x/2008101/pdf/10511-eng.pdf
Changing Patterns in Canadian Homeownership and Shelter Costs, 2006 http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/analysis/shelter/pdf/97-554-XIE2006001.pdf
And, of course, various data tables from either the 2006 census or the ongoing Survey of Housing Spending on housing-related info. Stats Canada's Survey of Government Revenues and Expenditures captures housing investments by federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments in Canada.
Hope this helps...
- Michael
