HousingWORKS has relaunched!

Social and affordable housing sector publication HousingWORKS has now officially returned, with the relaunch edition (Vol. 17, Number 1, October 2023) unveiled at this year's Australasian Housing Institute (ahi) Annual General Meeting in Brisbane, Queensland, on Thursday 12th October 2023.

Formerly a print journal produced for approximately 15 years as part of the ahi membership package, HousingWORKS temporarily ceased publication from 2020 to 2023 to accommodate increased online training and networking opportunities during pandemic lockdowns. However, in response to member feedback, the publication has made a triumphant return in a digital format that can accommodate embedded media such as audio and video.


"Our members asked for HousingWORKS – and I could not be prouder than to give it to them," says ahi CEO Kellie Dunn. "Only when you lose a publication like this can you see the hole it fills in the sector. There's literally nothing else like HousingWORKS in Australia and New Zealand, so we're honoured to be able to keep our sector connected and humming with its return in a new form." 


As a member-only publication, HousingWORKS is accessible by a password distributed to members via email from their GlueUp platform. All members should now have that password for the October 2023 edition.


As Kellie Dunn acknowledges, "The style and content of the publication is not set in stone. We see HousingWORKS as a living thing that will respond to the needs of the sector and our members, so we're setting up an advisory committee to ensure its relevancy. We also encourage direct feedback from our people."


"Launching the new HousingWORKS is a significant milestone for the ahi, and one that shows, when our members speak, we listen," she concludes.


HousingWORKS consists of stories, opinions, profiles and reports largely contributed by those working in the social, affordable and community housing industry. 


Editorial for the next edition of HousingWORKS is due on Monday 15th January 2024 for a publication date of Thursday 15th February 2024.
