How we work

We are a trusted conduit between the housing and homelessness sector and government, providing expert and independent advice, influencing policy decisions and growing public awareness to benefit low – moderate income housing consumers.

Our priorities over the period 2024-28 are:

Knowledge, Advocacy and Leadership

We advocate for a better housing system, focusing on the housing needs of people experiencing and at risk of homelessness, and Tasmanians on low and moderate incomes.

Sector Cohesion and Collaboration

We maximise our effectiveness and remain informed through our participation in State and National networks, partnerships and collaborations.

Capacity Building and Development

  1. We build the capacity of the housing and homelessness sector, its workforce and external agencies to achieve beneficial outcomes for housing consumers.

Organisational Sustainability

  1. We are a viable, resilient and enduring organisation with a strong sense of purpose and commitment.

Our vision is for affordable, appropriate, safe and secure housing for all and an end to homelessness.
