Spotlight on: Uniting (Victoria and Tasmania) Ltd
A partnership with Uniting (Victoria and Tasmania) Ltd and the Victorian Government has helped to deliver 44 new homes in Wangaratta as part of an $18.3 million redevelopment project.
Supported by $9.5 million in funding from the HAFFF, the initiative replaced outdated buildings with a modern residential complex.
The new social housing development has been thoughtfully integrated into the local environment, reflecting Wangaratta's heritage and character.
Residents have already moved into the homes, which include a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom dwellings designed to accommodate 90 people on the Victorian Housing Register.
This project forms part of the Victorian Government's $5.3 billion Big Housing Build - the largest investment in public and community housing in Australia's history.
"Uniting was proud to contribute to increasing the supply of affordable homes in regional Victoria. A collaborative government funding model between Housing Australia and Homes Victoria has allowed us to replace ageing buildings, which were no longer fit for purpose, with a new modern community housing development," Bronwyn Pike, CEO of Uniting (Victoria and Tasmania).
