SROI Analysis - Scattered-Site Supportive Housing

This study explores the social return on investment (SROI) of operating scattered-site supportive housing in B.C. Five scattered-site supportive housing programs receiving investment from BC Housing were examined as case studies. They included: CMHA Kelowna, Kelowna; CMHA Mid-island Branch, Nanaimo; Lookout Housing and Health Society, Surrey; MPA Society, Vancouver; and Pacifica Housing, Victoria. These case studies illustrate the range of value created by supportive housing in B.C. and the social and economic value created by investing in scattered-site supportive housing.
