锘縏Y - RPRT AB - This research examined common housing registers and choice-based allocations systems and their relevance for all types of social housing agencies in Australia. It was found that there is no one model of common housing register: they vary in scope, the number and range of participating providers, the extent of centralisation or decentralisation of tasks, use of technology and level of sophistication. The biggest obstacles to successful implementation are fears by not-for-profit providers that their autonomy will be eroded, and the risks involved in obtaining the right information and communication technology. In regards to choice based letting the research found that the biggest barriers to successful implementation are inability to embrace a cultural change which views households as consumers and active bidders rather than passive welfare recipients, and the procurement and implementation of quite complex hardware and software systems. The research concludes that 'common housing registers', 'choice-based lettings' and 'local allocations policies' represent different paradigms of social housing reform (welfarist, consumer choice, sustaining communities). Despite their widespread introduction overseas only the outcomes of choice based lettings are known and these are positive.
