Haven; Home, Safe wins additional 198 NRAS allocations
The Department of Social Services transferred the compliance management allocations of 198 National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) properties to Haven Home Safe on 8 May 2020.
As an NRAS Approved Participant, we are in the top 10 Australia-wide list (Source: DSS’s Quarterly Performance Report, 31 December 2019). Our total allocations constitute 23 per cent of NRAS allocations in Victoria and four per cent Australia-wide. We do this work to facilitate the availability of more affordable housing.
The transfer of these allocations represents 60 per cent of the now-defunct McKenzie Bond portfolio in Victoria (38 per cent Australia wide).
Since McKenzie Bond collapsed in September last year, we have been building strong relationships with the investors. We will keep our investors updated via our website regularly on how we progress through the implementation phase in consultation with the DSS.
