Rent at HRV Community Housing units will not exceed 25% to 30% of tenants’ income, plus Commonwealth Rent Assistance, and will be capped at 75% of market value for a similar property in the same area.
At HRV, just like at Vic Park Housing + Hub, Connect will provide independent living with a supportive tenancy management. That means tenants need to be able to perform daily tasks and care for themselves, but Connect will check on their physical and mental wellbeing and refer tenants to appropriate external services, if needed.
Connect is excited to be able to offer a local solution to an increasing national housing crisis. Housing is a human right and, particularly for older people, it is essential for wellbeing, security and the ability to live in community for longer. As with Vic Park Housing + Hub, Community Housing at HRV will be manage to create a sense of community, pride and happiness.
Eligibility criteria for Community Housing at HRV can be viewed here. Allocation will prioritise current residents of the Town of Bassendean and those with a family or social connection with the Town, with special emphasis on single women -- one of the fastest growing cohorts at risk of homelessness both nationally and in Western Australia.
