• The current challenge of promoting the sustainable provision of social housing for the global population requires an integrated evaluation of the infrastructure and service availability across a territory. Few applications are recognized for supporting social housing plans with spatial information, especially regarding the ability to provide room for new initiatives. The aim of this research is to propose a Social Housing Index (SHI) for integrating and quantifying urban spatial socio-environmental information to support social housing plans. To this end, data about land use and sectoral activities are integrated using a standardizing methodological framework. The SHI supports studies on location alternatives for new housing projects and the availability of infrastructure and services for the implemented housing complexes. The proposed index also harmonizes the development of housing plans by making different demands compatible for supporting urban sustainability. •Standardizing framework integrates information of land use and sectorial plans.•The Social Housing Index is proposed to support an ex-ante and ex-post analysis.•The level of urban services and infrastructure provision is evaluated.•Heterogenous conditions are identified in areas meant to receive social housing.•Projects in the peripheries present low access to jobs and cultural facilities.
