Dr. Rosanna Scutella is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies (GUSS) at RMIT University. Her research focuses on homelessness, housing policy, labor markets, and social exclusion. She has conducted extensive work on the dynamics of homelessness, including transitions into stable housing, healthcare access barriers, and the interplay between structural conditions and individual risk factors. Her work often involves large-scale longitudinal data analysis, particularly through the Journeys Home project, which tracks vulnerable populations over time. Collaborations with government departments and research institutions like AHURI highlight her applied policy focus. Key areas of inquiry include housing market impacts, psychological distress among the homeless, and earnings mobility patterns. Her findings have informed housing and social welfare policies in Australia. Dr. Scutella’s research bridges academic rigor with practical policy solutions, addressing systemic challenges in urban and social studies.
