IMPACT
We are determined to make a meaningful difference with a long-term impact and ripple effect of positive change.
PASSION
Our tenacity brings passion to our purpose, fuelling our motivation and unwavering commitment to drive change.
INTEGRITY
Trusting, fair and supportive, we act with openness and honesty, preserving the dignity of the clients and tenants we work with.
RESPECT
We have an inherent belief in the value of all people and respect the right to navigate life’s complexities with choice and control.
COLLABORATION
United by compassion and a true sense of solidarity, we are a like-minded group working together towards our vision.
Reconciliation action plan
We recognise Aboriginal people as our nation’s first people.
We also know Aboriginal people continue to be over-represented in the proportion of South Australians seeking homelessness and housing services.
We believe these outcomes result from factors including the lasting impacts of colonisation, traumas suffered through the stolen generation as well as family violence, unemployment, low education levels and poor health.
This recognition underpins our commitment to self-determination for individuals, families and communities and the delivery of culturally appropriate support and services.
Since 2018, our journey toward reconciliation has been guided by, and measured through, our Reconciliation Action Plan.
The Plan is an evolving initiative aligned to Reconciliation Australia’s framework to help organisations support the national reconciliation movement.

Environmental sustainability

Expanding
recycling efforts
Offsetting carbon
emissions from our
fleet vehicles

& computers
Encouraging efficient
use of water, energy
& other resources
Recognising the significant impact of the urban ‘heat island’ effect, our new builds comply with a rigorous process to ensure housing is not being designed as ‘heat boxes’ requiring excessive amounts of artificial heating and cooling to maintain a comfortable temperature. Like many environmental initiatives, this also has huge benefits for the hip-pockets of people in our housing – many who struggle with the rising cost of utilities.
Our procurement process considers environmental sustainability and we aim to cool the urban environment with plantings wherever possible in our developments.
