Streets Ahead Incentive Program Since Housing Choices Tasmania began its operations in the state’s north-west in 2014, nine people who were eligible for assistance with affordable home ownership have been successful in buying a home that was previously managed by Housing Choices at an affordable price. In addition, the Streets Ahead Incentive Program (SAIP) is specifically for residents who are currently renting a property that is owned by Housing Tasmania and managed by Housing Choices. Eligible residents can receive up to $13,000 through the program, which can be used towards the house deposit, legal fees and mortgage insurance. After hearing about SAIP, long-term Latrobe residents Fiona and Danny were able to purchase their family home of eight years.
Our dream of owning our own home has come true. We are so happy to call it ours and a great big thank you to Vickie and Housing Choices for helping it happen. Thank you.
FIONA AND DANNY, RESIDENT
