Community Housing Asset Ownership

Housing NSW is in the process of enacting legislation to establish the terms of the Community Housing Asset Ownership transfer program.

The program represents an excellent opportunity for eligible providers to grow their current community housing portfolio, however it is critical to understand the financial implications of the program.

Key issues related to the program include:

the requirement to leverage the assets in order to fund additional housing projects
securing debt finance to fund this required expansion
understanding the impact on the operator's balance sheet
operators must pay all management, maintenance and stock replacement costs
eligibility for additional government funding (e.g. NRAS, Social Housing Grant)

A more detailed list of key issues can be downloaded here (pdf file).

Premier Consulting can provide detailed financial modelling, together with debt funding services, to help your organisation assess the financial impact of this new program.
