VISION:

Enhance people's lives by facilitating the provision of social and affordable housing.

Our vision is supported by QCHC's Mission which is, "Provide community housing options for individuals and families through: building the capacity of social and affordable housing providers; delivering a range of quality services and products to the social and affordable housing industry; and providing industry leadership and representation for our members."

WHAT DO WE DO?

Our aim is to foster the development of community housing as a viable, affordable and secure housing option for all people in housing need.  QCHC is a membership organisation, which provides a range of services to the community housing sector.  We do this through consultation with housing providers statewide.  Services QCHC provides are:

• resources, advice and guidance to community housing providers
• dissemination of information from consultations, including mail outs, e-news
• representation on state and national committees
• development of special projects which arise from recognised areas of need
• promotion of community housing
• development of learning materials and delivery of training (QCHC is a Registered Training Organisation - RTO)
• policy development / advocacy
• research and development of good practice

As a Registered Training Organisation the Learning Centre delivers training to meet sector needs.  Training is offered on a fee for service (cost recovery) basis.
