Abstract: The Housing for Health Incubator aims to research and critically intervene in housing and infrastructure policies that contribute to unjust housing and health outcomes for Indigenous and other marginalised people, in Australia and elsewhere. Taking policy worlds, rather than householders, as its central object of analysis, the Incubator investigates the political and policy obstacles to instituting systemic change in housing provision. In partnership with Healthabitat, a not-for-profit company focused on improvements in the material conditions of housing for Indigenous and other disadvantaged groups, the Incubator is committed to increasing the quantity, quality, and accessibility of secure housing as a human right, through working on practical improvements in housing fix-work and exploring wider contributors and potential solutions to infrastructural inequality. Located at the University of Sydney, the Incubator is funded by the Henry Halloran Trust, the University of Sydney Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the University of Sydney Medical School, the Marie Bashir Institute for Infectious Diseases and Biosecurity, and The Fred Hollows Foundation. This Issues Paper describes the political and policy context in which the Incubator has been established and outlines its planned program of research.
