Community Housing

Defined narrowly, the community housing sector has around 400 dwellings in Canberra provided through capital subsidy programs and managed by either non-profit rental housing cooperatives or associations.

The sector now has the potential to grow as an alternative supplier of 'social' or affordable housing and, thus, to broaden consumer choices in relation to management and tenant participation.

Community housing providers may be able to explore the widening of their potential tenant group as part of developing viable rent streams which can cover management, maintenance, and future expansion of stock. Community housing providers will grow through establishing a more busines- like approach to the management and tenanting of the properties in their control.
