The units will provide accommodation for people over-55 who are currently on the social housing waiting list or in need of stable and affordable housing.
Developed and operated by BaptistCare, the units are part of the NSW Government’s $1bn Social and Affordable Housing Fund (SAHF), a ten-year initiative that aims to deliver over 23,000 new dwellings across NSW.
BaptistCare is expected to construct and operate 500 more of these by 2020 – which is more than one new dwelling per day.
Sites will include Goulburn, Carlingford, Five Dock, Narellan, Springwood, Gosford and Newcastle.
