Our Vision

Our vision for the world …

Our vision is for a world where every person has access to a safe, secure and affordable home; a world where human rights are upheld, all people are welcomed and diversity is celebrated; a world where every person has a real opportunity to live out their hopes and dreams - regardless of income or disability; a world where the focus of society and government at every level is on the health and happiness of the whole person; a world that is sustainable and can support the hopes and dreams of future generations.

 Our contribution to this vision … what we will do … 

• We will provide a range of innovative services for people who are homeless; these services will focus on listening to the needs of individuals and creating flexible pathways for people out of homelessness into homes and communities.
• We will design, develop, manage and maintain an increasing supply of housing that is affordable, sustainable, and safe; that is well designed and well cared for and that meets the changing needs of a diverse community. We will continue our special focus on providing housing for single person households who have experienced homelessness.
• We will do more than just providing affordable housing – we will focus on supporting the people in our housing to live well. We will work in partnership to create opportunities for them to participate in decisions about their housing, to build social connections, develop confidence and skills, to gain access to community services and resources, discover their gifts and talents – and contribute to their community through meaningful work. 
• We will work to change community attitudes and government policy. We will work in partnership with others to ensure that access to housing is upheld as a basic human right, to ensure that people have enough income to live with dignity, to improve the standards of housing for those on low incomes and to help create a positive image for affordable housing within local communities.
