The current stock of social and affordable housing is insufficient to meet the demand of a growing population in need of housing that provides secure and affordable shelter. There is thus a need for additional investment in social and affordable housing. When considering the cost and benefits associated with this\, it is useful to also consider the cost of \;not \;providing high-quality social and affordable housing: e.g. in terms of housing stability\, health outcomes or education outcomes for low-income families. A few selected results and recommendations from an early evaluation of Future Directions\, a large social housing reform in New South Wales\, will be presented. This evaluation compared a range of outcomes for the tenants of the dwellings provided through the Future Directions Strategy to outcomes of similar tenants allocated to other social housing dwellings.
