ARC Projects
Renovation and Repurposing of Underutilised Property
Combining underutilised housing stock & traineeship program to increase affordable housing for those who need it most in our community.
The Project
Identifying underutilised or unused property that can be repurposed for housing for vulnerable people. ARC projects focused on achieving four outcomes:
- Repurposing underutilised property.
- Facilitating construction training pathways.
- Negotiating education and employment
outcomes for tenants. - Increasing supply of affordable
housing options for vulnerable
people groups such as women over
55+, single parent families and young people.
ARC – Construction Traineeship & Apprenticeship Pathway
ARC projects will serve as a safe, reliable, and controlled training environment that is able to accommodate trainees or carpenter apprentices. The project ensures renovation costs are kept reasonable, with savings passed along to housing providers who can ensure that housing is affordable.
ARC – Employment Opportunities
ARC projects aim to continue supporting tenants once housed to increase their opportunity to re-engage in the workforce as a purposeful way to help them overcome financial barriers and increase financial independence, confidence and participation in their community.
