Expansion into Victoria and the ACT

Focus-on-Mason, Moonee Ponds, VIC.

In 2021, Evolve Housing registered a new community housing provider (CHP), Evolve Housing Vic Ltd. This was done to capitalise on the opportunity presented by the Victorian Government’s $5.3 million Big Housing Build initiative. With a wealth of experience and expertise in the delivery of social and affordable housing projects, Evolve Housing Vic will play a key role in the program, which aims to build 9,300 social housing and 2,900 affordable housing properties over the next 18 months.

A large body of work went into registering and attaining CHP status for Evolve Housing in Victoria, as well as developing a five-year business plan for the entity. We are now open for business and are one of the few non-Victorian CHPs registered in the state.

In addition, we also expanded our footprint into the ACT this year, where we are now managing 40 key worker housing properties in Canberra through our real estate business, EchoRealty.
