The Centre for Equitable Housing (CEH) provides research, policy advice and public engagement on housing affordability-related issues.
Once our ideas are developed, they are subjected to rigorous peer review, and then communicated widely, both in the public domain and through our own extensive network of senior decision makers in government, industry, and the public service.
