8. The Study into Support Needs of People with High and Complex Needs in the ACT (Cohort Study) has provided valuable insights into the needs of people who are often chronically homeless.
Findings from the Cohort Study are being used to inform, review and strengthen the evidence base for a range of current and future initiatives, particularly around Housing First approaches.
The Cohort Study has supported commitments under the ACT Housing Strategy, including implementing a model of support that draws on Housing First principles, particularly for people experiencing long term homelessness such as Axial Housing, developing a holistic and client centred model of social housing and developing a second Common Ground for Canberra.
