Our vision is to be a long-term provider of high quality housing that enables people to participate in their communities.
MA Housing

MA Housing is a growing national Community Housing Provider. We provide a range of affordable and social rental housing for low income households.

MA Housing was established in May 2008 and commenced operations in April 2009 as a separate company within the Mission Australia Group. MA Housing was established to help address the shortfall in affordable rental housing.

What is community housing?

Community Housing is quality low cost rental housing managed by not-for-profit community organisations. Our housing is made available at below market rates to low income households. We are able to offer quality housing at lower rents than the private sector because we bundle rental income with government grants, tax savings, private donations and debt finance.

All of our housing is provided at below market rates to eligible households. The amount of rent charged for a particular dwelling depends on the funding agreements we have in place with government.

Housing programs

Affordable housing
The affordable housing program is available for individuals, couples and families on low to moderate incomes who are having difficulty securing housing in the private rental market. Rent is set at 75% of the market rate.

Social housing
The social housing program is available to individuals, couples and families on low incomes who are eligible for public housing.
