In collaboration with YWCA Australia, Paper Moose designed the Women’s Liveability Assessment— a digital tool set to transform how Community Housing Providers (CHPs) care for women’s unique needs. By turning the Women’s Housing Framework into a user-friendly platform, CHPs are now better equipped to push for gender equality in housing.
YWCA Australia invited us to take their Women’s Housing Framework and evolve it into a lively digital tool to help CHPs gain transparency on what women really need at home. Our task: create an easy-to-use platform that not only highlights these needs—like safety, health, and community participation—but also equips CHPs to deliver greater housing success to women who need that support.
To support CHPs in addressing the gender gap, our mission was clear—design a tool that offers reliable diagnostic benchmarks and actionable advice. We brought the Women’s Liveability Assessment to life, giving housing providers the insights they need to successfully support women and align with the best in women’s housing.
We crafted the Women’s Liveability Assessment to be a friendly, comprehensive digital tool, allowing CHPs to seamlessly assess their housing strategies against core domains like Safety, Participation, Health, and Agency. Designed to be user friendly and effective, the tool guides organizations in creating environments that genuinely empower women.
The Women’s Liveability Assessment tool set a fresh standard in tackling women’s housing challenges, offering a practical and innovative new tool to combat gender inequity in community housing. With this digital asset in their toolkit, CHPs all over Australia can now improve housing conditions and outcomes for women, living up to YWCA Australia’s mission of securing gender equality in housing.
