About the concept
The concept is a win-win-win-win.
The land owners gets to positively contribute to the housing situation by providing underutilised land, with the security of knowing their longer terms plans for the site are unhindered.
Tenants get access to dozens of brand news homes that don’t exist now in a community environment. These homes would be available for around two years at $200 a week.
Owners can access a sound investment with social benefits. If the concept didn't stack up financially, the concept wouldn't be possible.
The concept is self-sufficient requiring no government resources, leaving the government to build the social and public housing our community desperately needs.

About the Foundation and Project
We work with property owners and the broader community to identify large parcels of land in the Hobart area that are zoned for residential use that will be developed at some point but are currently underutilised or vacant and where there is no intention for the land to be developed within the next three years longer.
When suitable parcels of land are identified, the Foundation enters into a Head Lease with the landowner, with the land made available for lease at no or low cost.
As land is secured, the Foundation places mobile homes on the land which would be offered for rent at affordable rates, typically on two-year leases. These housing options are intended to provide temporary housing for around two years to help bring homes to the rental market as quickly as possible.
The mobile homes are easily transportable homes that are commonly referred to as ‘tiny homes on wheels’. The use of the housing solutions means they can be built off-site, are low impact of the site itself and can be moved to other locations as needed.
