Our housing types
Community Housing
What is community housing?
“Community housing is an alternative to public housing and caters for people on very low to moderate incomes, who are or may be in rental stress or face barriers to entry into the private housing market.
It provides secure, affordable, long-term rental housing for people with specific needs; including people who have experienced homelessness, the aged, Aboriginal people, people with a disability, survivors of domestic violence, people from non-English speaking backgrounds and low-income families and individuals.
Community Housing is managed by not-for-profit organisations and provides a variety of living arrangements depending on the needs and preferences of the tenant household.”
Affordable Housing
What is affordable housing?
“Affordable housing is housing for people and households on incomes ranging from low to moderate, and includes both rental and home ownership.
It is priced so that low and moderate-income households are able to meet essential basic living costs, with housing costing no more than 30% of weekly household income, either for mortgage or rent.”
Supported Housing
What is 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.
The program is delivered through a partnership between the SA Homelessness Alliances, Housing SA and community housing providers. The Alliances, which involve multiple support providers, include four regional homelessness alliances and a state-wide domestic and family violence alliance.
Housing SA and community housing providers make properties available for the program and manage the tenancies and properties.
The Alliances assess customers’ eligibility and provide case management and support to customers once they’re housed.”
