What is a Compatibility Assessment?

A Compatibility Assessment is a score showing how well a property matches your needs.

How It Works

Housing Match analyzes:

• Your profile (preferences, support needs, interests)
• Property details (location, support, housemates)
• Your compatibility with residents
• Support match between needs and availability

The Score

Scores range 0-100:

• 80-100: Excellent match
• 60-79: Good match
• 40-59: Fair match
• Below 40: Lower compatibility

What It Considers

• Does location match your preferences?
• Does support level match your needs?
• Are accessibility features available?
• Do your interests align with housemates?
• Is the daily routine compatible?
• Can they manage your specific needs?
• Are you compatible with current residents?

Important

The score is just a guide.

You decide whether to apply, regardless of score. Providers make their own decisions. Low score doesn't mean you can't apply. High score doesn't guarantee approval.

Real Examples

• High score but you don't like the area → Don't apply
• Low score but perfect location → Apply anyway
• Good score and feels right → Great opportunity

Trust your feelings about a property as much as the score.

Final Decisions

You, your Support Coordinator, and the provider are always in charge. Housing Match provides guidance, not final answers.
