Establishing a sector data approach for urban community housing in the Northern Territory

NT Shelter engaged the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) to establish a sector data approach for urban community housing in the Northern Territory (NT). The aim was to investigate how data can be used more effectively to demonstrate the capacity, performance and impact of the urban community housing (CH) sector in the NT. The project maps publicly available data, consults the CH sector on their current data holdings and reporting requirements, and makes recommendations for a more cohesive, sector-wide data approach.
