Our Vision
For all people to know Jesus and be integrated into the body of Christ through the vehicle of Christian-based housing.
Our Mission
Our mission through Christ is to deliver high-quality housing, services, and support for people in need.
Our housing types
We manage nearly 600 properties within metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia. Our housing portfolio is diverse, with a range of different housing programs.
Community Housing
Community housing provides affordable, stable, secure, and safe housing to people in South Australia living on low to moderate incomes, facing disadvantage and/or with specific needs.
People supported by community housing can include those who are living on a fixed income, have experienced or are at risk of homelessness, the elderly, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people living with disability, survivors of domestic violence, and people from non-English speaking backgrounds.

Affordable Housing
Affordable housing is a home where the household is generally paying no more than 30% of their annual income to rent or buy a home. This ensures that affordable housing is appropriate for the needs of a range of very low to moderate income households, and priced so that these households are able to meet other basic living costs such as food, clothing, transport, medical care and education.
Supported Housing
The Homelessness Supportive Housing Program provides accommodation and support for customers with complex needs who require intensive case management and support to maintain their tenancy. Customers must be engaged in case management with a SA Homelessness Alliance or Domestic and Family Violence Alliance provider to access the program.

Essential Worker Housing
Essential Worker Housing provides secure and affordable rental accommodation for key community workers, including nurses, aged care and disability support workers, teachers, emergency responders, and other essential service providers. It is privately funded and managed, ensuring stable housing for those who play a vital role in supporting the well-being and functioning of the community.
