Community housing is delivering at national scale
Australia’s not-for-profit community housing sector manages nearly 150,000 homes, reinvests every dollar of surplus for public good, and is scaling to meet the housing challenge.
Developed through a collaboration between CHIA NSW and Australian Community Housing, the National Community Housing Profile brings together the latest data on the scale, capacity and impact of the sector across Australia.

The full dataset and interactive dashboards are hosted by CHIA NSW, who have led the development and maintenance of this important national data resource in partnership with ACH.

ACH gratefully acknowledges the substantial work of CHIA NSW in developing, hosting and maintaining the National Community Housing Industry Profile dashboard. This national resource builds on CHIA NSW’s long-running Industry in Profile work and provides an important evidence base for the community housing sector across Australia.
This is a system ready to scale.
Community housing is one of Australia’s most established and scalable delivery systems for social and affordable housing.
