With the creation of Homes Victoria and the Big Housing Build well underway, there has been a significant increase in social housing projects being delivered across Victoria. This, along with changes to the planning provisions governing social housing projects, and an increasing number of councils actively supporting the delivery of more social and affordable housing, mean that many local government officers and Councillors now need to understand community housing and, more importantly, explain it to their local constituents.
The course will cover:
- What is community housing and social housing more generally
- How community housing works – its operating model and the various systems that govern and regulate it
- Who lives in community housing
- How local councils can partner with community housing organisations
- Growth in the community housing sector – the Big Housing Build, project examples and other opportunities
- Resources for councils – how CHIA Vic can help
It would be suitable for:
- Local government officers and Councillors seeking to understand community housing
