Panel Topic: Social Impact bonds
Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are an innovative approach to financing social service programs that combines outcome-based payments and market discipline. They are designed to raise private capital for intensive support and preventative programs which address areas of pressing social need.
Social Ventures Australia raised $9 million of private capital to fund Hutt St Centre, a homeless service specialist, for delivering the innovative Aspire Program which supports people experiencing homelessness in Adelaide. The Aspire Program is a housing first intensive case management program that works with participants for three years. The program is designed to build the independence and resilience of vulnerable people experiencing homelessness by addressing the complex personal and structural causes of their homelessness. The outcomes of the program will be determined by comparing the Aspire participants’ utilisation of health, justice and emergency accommodation services with a historical benchmark. The outcomes of the program determine investor returns.
Panellists will discuss Social Impact Bonds, thinking outside the square to improve social outcomes for the community, and the role and growth of impact investing across South Australia and the country.
