The purpose of the evaluation is to “examine whether the Brisbane Common Ground initiative has been successful in assisting tenants to maintain secure housing and improve health, wellbeing, social and economic outcomes” (Queensland Government 2012: 7). The evaluation was tasked with examining four dimensions of Brisbane Common Ground; these are:

• The implementation of the initiative and to identify key successes and areas for improvement;

• The design and performance of the building is meeting user requirements and supporting the achievement of the service’s objectives;

• The effectiveness of the Brisbane Common Ground supportive housing service in improving long-term tenant outcomes and circumstances;

• The value for money of the model.
