About

The Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA) commissioned the development of SIGMAH - Social Infrastructure and Green Measures for Affordable Housing. This tool captures the wider social, climate and economic benefits associated with the development of Social and Affordable Housing to enable further investment into housing of this type.  This project will support the next steps now that the tool is ready for use.  The widespread use and adoption of SIGMAH will be supported by a robust implementation strategy to (1) promote the use of SIGMAH among community housing organisations (CHOs), other non-profits, governments and for profit entities, (2) provide schedule briefing sessions to users, (3) respond to basic queries from users (4) make minor adjustments and modifications to SIGMAH as required and (5) put in place a long term arrangement for administrating SIGMAH.

The Next steps on SIGMAH tool (social and environmental calculator) project aligns with these United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals:

11. Sustainable Cities and Communities

What we're working towards

 
1.2 The supply of affordable, sustainable and healthy housing is increased.
