The Public Housing Dividend Case Study

How SVT compared public housing pathways by what each would mean for residents.

The challenge

Partners needed to know whether to preserve and expand the system or allow it to deteriorate.

The approach

SVT modelled five investment pathways over 2026 to 2050.

Key results

  • The strongest pathway generated about $48.3B in cumulative social value.
  • Reduced funding produced negative cumulative social value.
  • The same pathway housed about 239,500 people.
