Community Housing Programs

Funded by the Office of Community Housing, Compass Housing has four classifications in this portfolio:

Capital properties

These are properties which are acquired from Housing NSW and are leased to Compass Housing.

Leasehold properties

These are properties which are privately owned by landlords who lease the properties to Compass Housing. Compass Housing receives funding for the gap between subsidised rent paid and market value rent paid to landlords.

Supported Housing Properties

Most of these properties are capital properties which are specifically for tenants requiring support to sustain their tenancies. Compass Housing enters an agreement with a support agency, which partners with Compass Housing to support the client’s tenancy and provide living skills and personal support. Our support partners come from a large cross section of the human services sector.

Crisis Accommodation properties

These are properties which are mostly capital properties. Crisis accommodation is for tenants with support needs, who also need short-term accommodation and whose tenancy is assisted by a support partner agency.
