What is Social Housing?
Social Housing is rental housing that is funded or partly funded by the government, and that is owned or managed by the government or a community housing provider like Venture, and let to eligible persons. Rent is usually set at around 25% of gross household income plus 100% of Commonwealth Rental Assistance.
The social housing services system aims to provide low-income people who do not have alternative suitable housing options with access to social housing assistance that supports their social and economic participation and their well-being.
