IMPORTANT UPDATETransition in Progress |
|
We are currently in the process of transitioning from the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) to the Australian Homelessness Vulnerability Tool (AHVTT) and implementing a new system for the Brisbane Zero By-Name List data. While we finalise this transition, we will not be able to generate our regular reports and update the By-Name List data and common triage tool dashboard. Your patience during this period of improvement is greatly appreciated as we aim to provide more effective, real-time data to help us ensure that homelessness in Brisbane is rare, brief, and non-recurring. |

While the Brisbane Zero team works toward having reports for the AHVTT live, you can still check the data for the Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritisation Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) from 2019 up to September 2024.
The Vulnerability Index Service Prioritisation Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT)
It is a voluntary screening tool based on people's disclosed information and it is used to provide appropriate housing, healthcare, and community services according to people needs.
-
The VI-SPDAT is a screening tool used to identify the needs of a person or family with children experiencing homelessness. It helps match them with appropriate support services and housing options using a Housing First Framework.
The tool provides a score indicating the level of vulnerability, which can be used alongside case coordination.
-
The score provided by the VI-SPDAT is used to indicate acuity (vulnerability) and the type of housing and supports required for safe and secure housing:
- Low: Requires access to affordable housing.
- Medium: Requires affordable and stable housing with short-term support services.
- High: Requires Supportive Housing - Affordable and permanent housing with embedded healthcare and support services.
