Released in May 2021, our Future of Home book brings to life what our future housing system could look like.
It’s the culmination of over seven years of research by TACSI and other organisations just like us all over the world. Our hope is that this book stimulates the collective imagination of what could be, and how we might join up all the innovative work currently being conducted on the margins to build a better housing system.
Our goal is to create networks and starting points, and to connect and scale existing innovators and existing solutions.
This book is designed for anyone and everyone imagining a better future for home in Australia – a future that is more productive and more equitable for everyone.

There’s no place like home
Our homes give us stability and control over our lives. They give us access to a community of people that know, value, need and support us. They provide a space to find sanctuary and a safe place to express ourselves.
But Australia’s housing system doesn’t work well for everyone. In fact, by our calculations, upwards of 45% of Australian households – almost one in two – live in a way that holds them back, rather than gets them ahead.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Our seven years of working in home and housing has uncovered some incredible innovations, and we believe that by scaling these, we can make a housing system that works for everyone.
To improve the system, we need solutions beyond the current focus on supply and affordability. We need a housing system that puts people – not buildings – at the heart of the process, which recognises the huge social and financial benefits that are possible with such a model.
