The chronically homeless have been shown to generate costs of as much as $100,000 per person per annum in the use of health and other state and local services. There is ample data from Australia and elsewhere to show that secure supported housing significantly reduces those costs and results in better health outcomes.

Join ULI Sydney District Council for an exclusive site tour of Habilis 1 located in Summer Hill. Habilis is a values-based initiative to provide serviced housing for the homeless. Habilis aims to end the housing crisis by replicating a model of purpose-built small-scale clusters of units and providing services and basic social support. Habilis is a registered charity funded through private donations and Commonwealth and State grant funding that supports housing for the homeless.
