Maximising Impact: Baseline results from a longitudinal study of new tenants in social housing

In 2017, the Board of Directors at Unison Housing Ltd (Unison) endorsed a program of research to be undertaken by the Unison Housing Research Lab over a five-year period. The centrepiece was the design and implementation of a longitudinal panel survey called Maximising Impact. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, Maximising Impact will follow a sample of new Unison tenants to determine which factors contribute to tenancy sustainment and tenancy satisfaction, as well as community and economic participation.
