Southern Cross Housing

Southern Cross Housing provide Social Housing and Affordable Housing across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Snowy Monaro Local Government Areas. In recent years, we have continued to diversify our services, working to address the disadvantage experienced by many of our applicants, residents and community members. As a result we have created new business activities and formalised existing activities to deliver increased community benefits. Southern Cross Housing has four business units which supplement our Social and Affordable Housing services. They are: Southern Cross Building and Construction Southern Cross Realty Services Southern Cross Communities Assist Southern Cross Financial Futures Southern Cross Building and Construction is a registered building company which is able to deliver new social and affordable dwellings through a social enterprise, while providing employment and training opportunities for people in our local communities. Southern Cross Realty Services provides pathways out of social and affordable housing where it is feasible for applicants and tenants. Our realty services provide a safety net for people transitioning from social housing to the private rental market. This safety net provides added security and support for tenants to take their next step toward greater independence with peace of mind. Our Realty Services also provide a value-for-money proposition for Landlords, with a range of benefits including a rental guarantee.
