ABOUT EVOLVE HOUSING

At Evolve Housing, we believe in everyone’s right to a home — somewhere to feel safe and secure and to be part of a community. Although our core service is providing housing to those in need, we do more than simply put a roof over our residents’ heads.

We also offer programs, activities and services that enrich our residents’ lives and help them feel connected to their community.

OUR VISION

Thriving communities for all people.

OUR PURPOSE

To enable more people in need to live in quality homes in thriving and inclusive communities.

WHO WE ARE

Evolve Housing is one of the largest not-for-profit community housing providers (CHP) in Australia. As of 30 June 2022, we managed 4,522 properties housing 10,364 residents.

We have a presence in 38 local government areas across the Sydney and Hunter regions, as well as the NSW Central Coast and Mid North Coast. In addition to our presence in NSW, we manage key worker housing properties in Victoria* and the ACT. We are also a 15% member of Centacare Evolve Housing, a registered CHP in Tasmania, which manages over 2,000 properties housing 4,400 residents and has net assets of over $150 million. This financial year, we created a new entity called Evolve Housing Vic, which achieved registration as a Housing Provider by the Victorian Registrar. WHAT WE DO

At Evolve Housing, we provide: • Safe and secure housing for people experiencing homelessness or those on lower incomes experiencing housing stress; • Support services, programs, financial grants and activities that empower individuals, build their capabilities, and provide pathways to greater independence; and • Quality, accessible affordable housing developments that build strong, integrated and sustainable communities.

We provide subsidised housing to people living on very low to moderate incomes who are unable to pay for appropriate housing in the private market. Through alliances with governments, developers and investors we create new community housing stock to help meet a growing demand. Our properties cater to a diverse range of needs, household sizes and incomes, so we can offer a variety of options to our residents.

We help people to reach their potential by providing support services and programs. These include education and training programs that provide opportunities for residents to participate in their communities and pursue their career aspirations.

We also offer tailored support plans to address certain areas of need in residents’ lives including physical health, mental health, education and job readiness. Our regular social activities bring people together, which helps them to feel welcome and part of a local community.
