11 December 2009This report assesses the Severe Domestic Squalor Project, which aims to facilitate holistic assessment and support for people who are living in squalor; foster sustainable solutions for clients; and educate service providers.

The report concludes that the program provided high quality services to an underserviced and vulnerable group of people, and that a commitment of further resources is needed to sustain the changes that have been measured in this evaluation and to provide others in the community with access to this unique service.

This report was commissioned by Catholic Community Services. The findings are summarised here (PDF)
