Transforming lives through stability and care
Our impact
The Habilis model is already demonstrating significant social and economic benefits, helping residents and the wider community.
The Summer Hill pilot centre demonstrates
Improved Health Outcomes
Residents have access to regular medical support, resulting in far less hospital visits due to better adherence to treatment
Financial Sustainability
Through the use of cost efficient NDIS support and proven cost savings
Residents are regaining their independence while building meaningful relationships within a supportive environment
Stronger Community Integration
Long-Term Tenancy
Breaking the cycle of hospital stays, homelessness and incarceration, the majority of residents who have moved in to Habilis 1 remain with us
The Habilis value proposition
The City of Sydney estimates the sanitation cost of rough sleepers to be about $30,000 each p.a., almost enough to cover housing costs. With the average cost of a night in a general hospital bed around $2,000, a psychiatric hospital bed around $1,200, and a night in prison $300, we estimate our first six residents generated a staggering $1.4 million dollars of institutional care in the year prior to living at Habilis.
Once all Habilis 1 beds are occupied by similar residents, it will save the NSW Government over $4.5m every year.
Savings
$2.2M
$2.205,500 saved, calculated on 20 tenants at $110,377 p.a.
ROI

Recurrent costs saved by state capital investment p.a.

In benefits/savings for every dollar spent
Analyses of similar supported accommodation models show significant savings in hospital and other costs, for example, outcome analysis of the Michael Project and the Haven Foundation.
Habilis housing is proven, scalable, and ready to expand to other communities in need. Find out how you can help us grow our impact.
