Spotlight on: UnitingSA Housing Ltd
In March 2025, UnitingSA launched its largest community housing development to date in Prospect, SA, supported by funding from Housing Australia. With $14.7 million provided through the HAFFF and NHAF to support 31 social and affordable homes.
The mixed-tenure development also includes 2 specialist disability accommodation and 7 market homes. Social housing residents have access to wraparound services, including mental health support, counselling and NDIS services, reflecting UnitingSA's commitment to creating supporting and empowering living environments.
"We're not just about constructing building - we're very much about building communities where people can thrive," said Jenny Hall, CEO of UnitingSA.
"Every day – across our homelessness, emergency relief and mental health services – we see how the housing shortage and lack of affordable rentals is pushing people to the brink."
The development is in a well-connected area and designed around a landscaped internal courtyard to promote social connection and wellbeing. Sustainability principles have been embedded throughout the build, enhancing both environmental and community outcomes.
"The housing crisis is a community problem and it takes a community to rally together to solve it. We are privileged to play our part in alleviating some of the state's housing strain. We welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with the State and Australian governments, and other stakeholders, to help solve the housing crisis by building more homes for South Australians facing housing stress," said Ms Hall.
