This report is the culmination of a two-year collaborative project focused on reviewing and further developing Constellation’s model of lived experience inclusion.
It documents the contributions of people with lived experience to Constellation’s work over the past five years, and importantly, identifies the specific and tangible value and impact that these contributions have had on Constellation’s systems change efforts.
RMIT’s Innovation Catalyst team did this through:
a) 10 interviews with Constellation staff and stakeholders where five of the ten interviewees have lived experience of homelessness
b) Three case studies of solutions developed by Constellation and its partners:
- Constellation’s organisational inclusion model
- Ready Transitions
- Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning (MIZ)
Key findings from these case studies are synthesised according to three key insight areas:
- The nature of the contributions people with lived experience have made to Constellation’s work:
- The value and impact of these contributions.
- The factors that enabled these contributions.
