Northumberland Road, Pascoe Vale
About the project
Our Northumberland Road, Pascoe Vale development provides architect-designed, environmentally sustainable social housing homes, delivered through a community housing model that supports residents and builds links with community.
The Northumberland Road, Pascoe Vale project was being developed in partnership with Homes Victoria under the Victorian Government’s $5.3 billion Big Housing Build.
Designed by Caleb Smith Architect and John Patrick Landscape Architects, the property comprises 70 one and two-bedroom apartments, within two multi-storey buildings linked by a central atrium. All dwellings are designed to Livable Housing Australia Silver Level, 5 Star Green Star and 7 Star NatHERS ratings.
The site is close to the Pascoe Vale Neighbourhood Centre with easy access to shops, public transport, recreational parks and walking and cycling tracks, with primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Homes are being offered to applicants drawn from the Victorian Housing Register. Housing Choices is delivering both tenancy and property management services for the building and its residential community as well as community-building initiatives.
Housing Choices is an award-winning, Victorian-based national community housing provider and developer, with extensive experience in both tenancy and property management, and community-building.
What is community housing?
Over 20,000 Victorian households currently live in community housing-owned and managed homes. They are from all walks of life – single people, couples, young families, older women, newly arrived Victorians and people with disability.
The community housing sector is a long standing and vital component of the Australian housing spectrum, alongside public housing and private housing. ‘Social housing’ is an umbrella term that includes both public housing and community housing. It generally indicates housing that involves some degree of rental subsidy. In Victoria, public housing is managed by Homes Victoria. Community housing is owned or managed by non-government, not-for-profit, registered housing agencies like Housing Choices.
Community housing providers are regulated by the Victorian Housing Registrar and hold specialist expertise in property development, property management, tenancy management and community development. We provide safe and secure homes to those who live on low incomes, often with disability. We are committed under our charter to deliver safe, secure and affordable homes to low-income renters, help residents maintain stable tenancies, and ensure they have access to support services and live in communities that will improve their circumstances and life opportunities.
