Chief Executive Officer – Affordable Social Housing

Churches Housing Inc (CHI) is the peak representative body for faith-based social and affordable housing providers, and those most disadvantaged in their communities.  CHI’s important work of advocacy, critical partnerships with government, business and community sectors assist in the innovation and education needed to build ongoing capacity for this vital sector. https://churcheshousing.org.au/about-us-2/

The CEO leads a small, dedicated team, reporting to a Board, committed to grow its visibility in supporting a larger membership base and advocating the government’s funding provisions and policy reforms. The ability to network and collaborate through common platforms and identify opportunities for research that will substantiate the value of social and affordable housing is part of the success of this role.

Quote: “In 2017–18, over 800,000 Australians were in social housing, living in over 400,000 dwellings across the country. Most were in public housing, with increasing numbers in community housing. Social housing supported not just those on low incomes but people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness as well as people with disability.” Australian Institute of Health & Welfare (AIHW)
