Our contribution

A co-ordinated, collaborative and integrated approach 

We work together with stakeholders who have a shared ambition to facilitate more housing for more Australians. We bring together all levels of government, institutional investors, lenders, community housing providers, faith-based organisations, private sector developers and construction companies to facilitate and support delivery of more social and affordable housing. 

We also work with participating lenders to facilitate home ownership for more eligible home buyers.
