Demand for Affordable Housing
Over the last twelve months, we have continued to strive to increase the supply of community and affordable housing in our region. So far, 2020 has been an unprecedented year with the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in job uncertainty and causing unemployment rates to rapidly increase. Homelessness in our community has also been highlighted as a major issue with many of those sleeping rough sent into hotel quarantine. We anticipate this shift change will unfortunately result in the demand for low cost housing to grow rapidly in the coming months. In response, we are committed to continuing to seeking solutions to enable the delivery of new community housing to meet this growing demand.

Each townhouse has access to its own private courtyard and undercover parking. This accommodation will be suitable for older people with good access to local amenities.

Building upon successes of the “Homes4Life” prototype in Sippy Downs, the facility will replicate and be constructed by Ausmar Assist. We anticipate the building will be delivered late 2018 and will provide assisted housing for three individuals with high physical support needs, plus carer accommodation.
Safe accommodation for women and children escaping domestic violence…
In 2017, Coast2Bay assisted the Zonta Club of Caloundra to deliver accommodation for victims of domestic violence. “The RISE Project” was initiated by Zonta for victims to ‘Re-start In a Safe Environment” and was completed after several years of planning and fundraising. The facility now assists families in a location where there is currently a shortage of safe accommodation. In addition to the project management role, Coast2Bay now provide the tenancy and property management for the facility. Tenants […]
