What We Do HOUSING CHOICES CORE VALUES
Our core business is providing people with safe and affordable housing. But a house is more than bricks and mortar and a neighbourhood is more than buildings and roads. The key is the people who live in our houses, the families who populate our neighbourhoods and the relationships they establish with us and each other. That is why we value how we interact with our residents and the feedback we receive from them.
From the welcoming smile they receive at our office receptions, to the phone call inquiry that is answered by a human or returned promptly, to timely response to a request for information or property maintenance, we are committed to treating our residents with the utmost respect and consideration. Each year, our Resident and Partner Satisfaction Surveys provide critical information about what we are doing well, where we can improve, and help us monitor the working relationships that are vital to supporting our residents into stable, long-term accommodation. Not only do we want our residents to believe and trust in our commitment to them, we also recognise that as a recipient of significant amounts of public and other money in the form of rent, grants, government funding, bank loans and service fees, our internal management systems, financial controls and compliance responsibilities must be delivered to the highest possible standards. With assets in excess of $640 million, cashflow approaching $150 million p.a. and over 5,500 tenancies, we are much than a ‘cottage industry’ and we support and welcome effective regulation and oversight of our services. Our aim is to develop innovative housing solutions based on real evidence and ensure our experience is documented and evaluated so we can advocate for our residents and adapt our business to what is a constantly changing sector environment.
We are committed to treating our residents with the utmost respect and consideration.
