Community Housing Coalition of WA

The Community Housing Coalition of WA (CHCWA) is the State peak body representing community housing providers in WA.

CHCWA believes that affordable, secure and appropriate housing for everyone is a right rather than a privilege and is committed to ensuring this is clearly acknowledged and understood by politicians, government departments, business people, community housing providers and everyone in the community.

Our role is to support the development of community housing in WA, working with Federal, State and Local Governments to increase the provision of community housing, through assisting providers to eliminate homelessness and by providing a range of training and development opportunities designed to enhance an organisation’s ability to deliver quality outcomes.

CHCWA strives to identify community housing needs that are currently not being met and to ensure there is ongoing promotion of the value and benefits of community housing and the need to continue to grow the sector.

CHCWA strives to ensure individual housing providers can make a difference in shaping the political and social landscape in ways that best serve the needs of providers and tenants. In addition to providing a platform for discussing policy direction and best practice, CHCWA speaks with a strong and united voice for the sector and it is this voice which can influence issues that affect the whole sector.
