2. More Homes, and Better Homes
Expectations We recognise the scale of the housing crisis facing Australia and the challenge that this presents to communities, the community housing sector, government, and investors. Stakeholders have been clear that their expectation of Housing Choices is to play an active part in finding solutions to increase the supply of new homes. We are proud of our proven national track record and our stakeholder relationships and the responsibility they place on us. We recognise the importance that a home plays in resident well-being and quality of life. We also understand that many of the properties we own and manage will not meet resident’s future expectations. Together with our partners, we commit to finding solutions that better meet our residents’ needs. Our risk management strategy will support us over the next five years as we supply new homes.
With operations across five states and strong partnerships with governments, developers, and investors, we are able to deliver homes at scale on a national level. Our expertise in building high-quality homes, combined with a service approach, will contribute to placemaking and the creation of sustainable communities in the long-term.
Our Commitments
• We commit to challenging ourselves by building our organisational capacity, to provide as much new housing as possible within our financial means, operational capabilities, and risk appetite • We will collaborate with investors across all levels of government and other stakeholders to increase the supply of crisis, transitional, social, affordable, and market homes for rent across Australia • Our homes will be designed to be energy efficient, reduce the cost of occupancy, and cater to the diverse needs of Australian communities • We recognise the importance of building sustainable communities by offering choice, a diverse range of housing and placemaking • We commit to maintaining and improving our existing homes sustainably to meet the evolving needs of our residents and stakeholders
Our Value
We are able to increase the supply of housing and access to services. Residents increasingly value affordability and reducing costs associated with living in a home. This trend is expected to continue and grow over the coming years.
