SAHF and CommonBond Host Webinar on the Social Returns on Investment of Preventing Evictions
Last week, SAHF and CommonBond Communities hosted a webinar on the social value of preventing evictions. The webinar discusses the findings and methodology from CommonBond's recent Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis, every $1 invested in their eviction prevention activities yields $4 in social return in the forms of increased educational outcomes, lower healthcare usage, and decreased use of homeless shelters. The webinar also includes a wider conversation of how we can better measure the value of a stable, service-enriched home in order to improve outcomes and opportunities for residents and drive more investment into healthy homes and thriving communities that people can call home.
