About inhousing

Our 2024-27 Strategic Plan outlines how we will do this through five key focus areas: amplifying tenant voice, leading quality homes of choice, strengthening community connection, advocating for sustainable homes, and fostering inclusive workplaces.

All our work is driven by a commitment to rights-based inclusion guided by the principles of:

• Personhood: People with disability can exercise personal authority.
• Citizenhood: People with disability are active citizens in the life of the community.
• Capacity building: The capacity of people with disability is enhanced, at the level of the individual, and the family and the community.

• Providing strategic-level oversight of our work, which aims to place our tenants at the heart of everything we do.
• Being part of an organisation with a deep commitment to strengthening community connections, and building quality, personalised, and sustainable homes.
• Shaping an inclusive organisation where our people feel inspired, valued and supported to learn, grow and contribute.
