Best Practice

Concentrated Service Delivery Where Many Residents Live

Housing partners can come together to create opportunities for concentrated service delivery where many residents live, such as in Purpose Built Communities. This streamlines services and can improve the stability of residents.

Cost

Although significant time investment is required to build partnerships, the program produces significant cost savings for service providers and taxpayers.

Timeframe

Implementing a program at an existing building may take up to 12 months. New developments will take longer, but this can offer more opportunities for service providers to plan and coordinate the delivery of services.
