Abstract

The purpose of the SAHI Webtool is to support the development of rigorous, evidence-based business cases to better justify investment in social and affordable housing in Australia. The value of this tool is in its expansive approach, with outcomes and indicators included across twelve domains. With over 240 indicators (both quantitative and qualitative), the tool addresses the complexity of defining the benefits of providing safe and secure housing. Data shortfalls hinder the ability of the tool to quantify many of the intrinsic benefits of housing however, despite this limitation, the SAHI Webtool provides an aspirational guidepost to future data gathering and use.
