Tips for Applicants
This is not a traditional grant-making foundation but a community housing provider. Those seeking support should consider partnership opportunities for affordable housing development, referral pathways for clients needing housing, or potential collaborative projects aligned with their mission to house vulnerable populations in Melbourne.
Giving Philosophy
As a community housing provider rather than a traditional grant-maker, HousingFirst approaches its mission by developing high-quality, affordable housing properties and managing tenancies with wraparound support services. It values collaboration with government, developers, and community partners to expand social housing stock and create sustainable, livable communities.

HousingFirst operates as a not-for-profit community housing organisation likely funded through a combination of government housing agreements, property rental income, and potentially developer partnerships. The $500,000 annual giving likely represents charitable program expenditure rather than grant-making.
