Strategic Partnership for Growth

PPHA is continually looking at opportunities to grow its housing stock and whether with government, the private sector or community-based organisations, we are interested in speaking to any organisation that may wish to partner with us in developing affordable housing.

Registered Housing Associations

PPHA is a registered Affordable Housing Association under the Housing Act 1983 and as one of a small group of registered agencies has access to capital growth funds from the State Government for the development of affordable housing projects in Victoria.

As a Registrered Agency PPHA must meet certain performance standards. To meet these standards PPHA must undertake sound governance and operational practices.

Local and State Government

In partnership with the State Government, PPHA and the City of Port Phillip Housing Program has now become the largest local government community-housing program in Australia. It is recognised nationally as one of the most innovative and progressive demonstrations of the involvement of local government in the provision and management of affordable housing for low-income residents.

PPHA continues to strengthen its relationship with the State Government, Office of Housing, and going forward will continue to seek access to further capital funds.

In addition, the City of Port Phillip, also a key partner, is continuing to support growth through a forward commitment to PPHA. Other potential partnerships include:

• Neighbouring municipalities
• Private developers
• Philanthropic trusts
• Corporations based in the inner south region
• Community service organisations
• Churches
