Housing Choices Australia - Impact Report 2017

Foundations for the future

On the NDIS Working closely with our partners to understand the scale and need for disability housing across Australia is integral to broadening our National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) housing offerings. Our planning includes the development of housing options that will offer a spectrum of accessibility, to cater for the needs of our ageing population as well as those living with a disability. It is our aim to be a policy leader in the NDIS space, through identifying a truly accurate representation of specialist disability housing needs, both now and in the future.

Expanding our Reach Housing Choices Australia is proud to announce the roll- out of Housing Choices South Australia (HCSA). Through a transfer of public housing stock, facilitated by the SA Government and Renewal SA, we will support a further 840 residents in central Adelaide. The Housing Choices South Australia brand clearly identifies and defines our presence in SA and the new affordable housing initiatives that complement our existing responses to homelessness and supportive housing programs. Our growth in SA has been underpinned by significant investment including doubling the workforce to 27 plus contractors and casual employees and the opening of a new office.

Collaborations Collaborations with Governments is an important factor of success in our sector. Housing Choices has worked closely and effectively with State Governments and their departments in Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia, to ensure we are doing everything we can to expand the quality and choice of housing to vulnerable people, through positive and innovative projects like Rapid Housing in Victoria.
