Our work
The community housing sector has been identified as the growth vehicle for Victoria’s social housing, and, through the Big Housing Build, is expected to increase its property portfolio by 40% in the next four to five years.
As the sector’s peak body, CHIA Vic is continuing to work with members to deliver this growth by:
- Advocacy, representing the sector’s position to State Government and other key bodies, to build a stable and supportive policy environment to facilitate long-term growth of the community housing sector.
- Engaging with members and other stakeholders to identify issues and areas of concern, and working collaboratively on identifying and sharing best practice.
- Offering training and other professional development opportunities to ensure the community housing workforce has the skills and knowledge it needs to deliver high quality services to tenants.
- Sharing information and developing campaigns that raise the profile of community housing with a range of stakeholders, including the general public.
