What is Affordable Housing?
The term “Affordable Housing” is often misunderstood and is not the same as social housing. Public Housing is owned and managed by the State Government while community housing is delivered by community organisations and local governments and funded by the Queensland Government.
Affordable housing is providing secure and appropriate housing for low to moderate households and managed more like a private rental property and offered to tenants who meet specific eligibility criteria.
The Central Highlands (Qld) Housing Company Ltd recognises that adequate and appropriate affordable housing for all is fundamental to vital, liveable and successful communities.
