Community Housing Federation of VictoriaThe Community Housing Federation of Victoria (CHFV) was formed in 1997
and is the peak member-based organisation representing the views of community
housing organisations in Victoria. CHFV’s vision is for all Victorians to have access to affordable housing choices. This choice will include a diverse range of tenures delivered by a range of community, government and private organisations.
CHFV’s mission is to foster the growth of capacity of the community housing sector and to provide leadership in promoting the benefits and strengths of community housing.
The community housing sector in Victoria There are nine registered Housing Associations and 31 registered Housing Providers as at June 2010. All 40 registered housing organisations work through CHFV as their industry peak. The community housing sector is growing rapidly. By June 2009 it was employing nearly 1000 staff, managing over 12,000 tenancies and had an asset portfolio of nearly 5,000 properties worth over $1.2 billion. However, by July 2011 the success of the Victorian Growth Strategy, the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) and the Nation Building Economic Stimulus Package (Social Housing Initiative) will have raised these figures to over 17,000 dwellings under not-for-profit management including almost 8,000 dwellings directly owned by community housing organisations, representing around $2 billion in assets.
