The Community housing sector plays a key role in South Australia supporting more than 13,000 households and providing low income, affordable and Specialist Disability Accommodation.

Community Housing Providers provide subsidised housing. They have strong links to their community and provide housing to specific groups in the community.

The SA Housing Trust owns or has financial interest in around 12,000 of those community housing properties but tenancies are managed by providers.  It is a partnership that ensures the continued growth of social housing in South Australia.

South Australians can access a community house through the single register – when you apply for social housing, you can select an interest in public and/or community housing. There are a number of Community housing providers (external site) (local and country areas).
