What does a Community Housing Provider do and how?
A CHP can be considered the intermediary between the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), which is large pot of public funds available for social and affordable housing, and the developer or housing provider. Without a CHP accreditation, you can't make a funding application to potnetially utilse HAFF funding on owned land. Also, the CHP is expected to produce the compliance work required by the public funding organisation relaying information related to milestone payments, timing, project program, scope of delivery and any other relevant information. Given the size of the industry there are now brokers to the brokers (CHP holders) that will assist clients to deal with a particuar CHP organisation and the application requirements therein.
