Impact Report 2018 Housing Choices Australia
10 years of impact.
Passing the 10-year mark is a milestone for any organisation. It’s a clear indication that you’re here to stay but still youthful enough to have the energy and drive to continue along a strategic determined path.
We manage well over $640m of assets, with an operating revenue approaching $40m per year.
We partner with over 200 support service providers and operate resident advisory
committees in each state. These provide us with invaluable feedback on how we deliver our services; they help us create the communities and neighbourhoods that are needed to support our residents.
When Housing Choices Australia formed as an operating group in 2008, our early goals were to improve the housing choices of people living with a disability in Victoria and expand and grow our national footprint. We began with 28 sta , 1,430 residents and 895 properties. We intended to think national, but to act local.
After a decade, our portfolio now includes shared-living, family houses, apartments and studios; in properties that meld easily into towns, cities and suburbs across four states. Our residents are young and old, of diverse cultures and backgrounds, some with complex needs requiring support services and some are just making their way steadily out of di culty and hardship towards independence.
A decade on, we operate in four states, employ over 130 sta and own or manage more than 4,700 properties; providing secure homes for over 5,000 residents - 44% of whom live with a disability.
