In Victoria, we operate a mix of properties aimed at the needs of different cohorts under our entities National Affordable Housing Victoria (NAHV) and Home Equity and Rental Services (HERS)

Cheltenham, Cities of Bayside and Kingston

Located in Cheltenham, 18 km south-east of Melbourne’s Central Business District, the dwellings in this purpose built building are suited to a wide range of tenancy cohorts including people with disability, survivors of family violence, single women, people requiring support and Aboriginal people.

NAHV uses an ‘open access’ policy when housing people on the Victorian Housing Register (VHR). Together with NAHV’s ‘Matching for Success’ tenancy allocations framework, this open access positions NAHV to improve the life outcomes for people housed.

Sydenham, City of Brimbank

These social housing dwellings have been delivered by Affordable Rentals Victoria (ARV), a joint special purpose charity established by National Affordable Housing (NAH) and Common Equity Housing Limited (CEHL) through funding for 132 dwellings secured from the Victorian State Government.

These affordable townhouses comprise a combination of one and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses include eight townhouses located in the Victorian suburb of Sydenham, 22 km north-west of Melbourne’s Central Business District within the city of Brimbank.

Managed by NAH, they are rented to a mix of Register of Interest and Priority Housing applicants.

Mt Waverley, City of Monash

A 96 over-55s apartment building at 554-558 High Street Road, Mount Waverley, 16 km south-east of Melbourne’s Central Business District with a 2021 recorded population of 35,340. NAH has partnered with Pace Development Group on this project and our aim is to foster a successful, cohesive community with access to the opportunities provided by this highly accessible, well-serviced location. This exciting opportunity provides a dedicated social housing project for seniors, particularly women, aged 55 years or over on the social housing waitlist, to respond to one of greatest and fastest growing need cohorts on the Victoria Housing Register (VHR) experiencing homelessness. The dwellings and location are ideally suited to singles, couples and other households headed by people aged over 55.

The scale of the project will make a substantial contribution to social housing supply, and the Priority Access/Register of Interest mix will support the sustainability of the social housing community, ensure the building is well maintained and optimise outcomes for individuals.

Together with NAHV’s ‘Matching for Success’ tenancy allocations framework, this positions NAHV to improve the life outcomes for the people we house. The apartments will be owned by NAH with funding support from Homes Victoria and the Treasury Corporation of Victoria. The apartments will be managed by the NAH Housing Services Team.
