Housing
Integration and Social Housing in Australia: theory and practice. This report provides an overview of various service intergration and social housing initiatives, including the NSW Human Service Accord. The report concludes that '... the outcomes of integration, which are always portrayed positively by their proponents, cannot be taken for granted. The outcomes of integration are matters to be empirically determined rather than assumed. Some integration initiatives fail to achieve their objectives due to implementation difficulties. Others may involve trade-offs amongst objectives, e.g., greater efficiency may come at a price of reduced access or choice for consumers. Integration may or may not be an appropriate response to a problem, will always involve costs as well as benefits, and may have secondary or unintended consequences.' p90
