Journeys Home Research Report No 2: Findings from Wave 1 and 2

In late 2010 the Australian Government commissioned the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research (at the University of Melbourne) to design and implement a new longitudinal survey, subsequently named Journeys Home (JH). Over approximately two years, JH will track a national sample of individuals exposed to high levels of housing insecurity employing much more rigorous sampling methods than ever previously used. This Research Report presents key findings from the first two waves of the JH study, which were conducted over the periods September to November 2011 and March to May 2012 respectively.
