From Homelessness to a Home program evaluation

Delivered by AHURI Professional Services
For Homes Victoria

From Homelessness to a Home (H2H) was a $167 million dollar investment by the Victorian Government to support people who were experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic to access housing, integrated with wrap-around support services, for a period of 24 months. The program provided rapid access to stable and affordable housing to prevent further harm from rough sleeping or living in emergency accommodation. It delivered 1,845 packages to over 2,500 clients.

This report provides a snapshot of the main findings of the outcomes evaluation, which assessed the client and system outcomes achieved in the H2H program against the program aims. The evaluation used a mixed methods approach and drew on quantitative and qualitative data. Data sources included extensive stakeholder consultations, client interviews, a client survey, administrative program data and linked government data. A cost effectiveness analysis was also conducted.
