​​​​Community Housing

Our Housing Service Model aims to set applicants up to successfully sustain a tenancy by considering their housing need, individual capability, support options, and property suitability.

As people come to housing with different circumstances we take a flexible approach:

• If someone already has support, we work with them and their support provider to agree on a clear plan 
  for living well in the home.
• If someone needs support but doesn’t have it yet, we help connect them with the right services before
  or as they move in.
• If someone has complex needs but chooses not to have support, we carefully assess whether they can
  realistically manage a tenancy on their own.
• If someone is mostly independent but highly vulnerable, we still work with them on a simple housing
  plan and link them to support if needed.

Rent in Community Housing is subsidised and set at a percentage of household income to support people that may struggle within the private rental market, including:

• Lower income workers
• Older people
• People with disability
• Families on modest incomes

We offer long term stable and secure housing and ask in return for households to look after their homes, pay their rent on time and to be good and considerate neighbours.

Our homes are typically funded through a combination of government capital grants or subsidies and lending finance.

Our impact is measured not only in the number of homes delivered, but in the lives transformed through safe, stable, and inclusive housing environments.
