Visions & Goals
Vision
A community housing
system that provides secure, affordable and
appropriate housing for people in housing need,
promotes greater choice in housing, maximises tenant
participation and builds sustainable communities.
Goals
- To develop and
promote the community housing sector as a strong,
independent and viable social housing sector where
community housing providers have the maximum
opportunity to regulate their own affairs.
- To develop a tenant
focussed community housing sector, based on
quality and standards, which provides affordable
and appropriate housing with security of tenure.
- To continue to build
the Community Housing Federation of Australia as
an efficient, effective and sustainable national
peak organisation which is responsive to its
members' needs and development.
- To maximise the
financial and other resources available to the
sector from Government and non-government sources
in order to expand the role community housing
plays in meeting the social housing needs in
Australia.
