Our Strategic Vision

BHC’s Strategic Plan outlines the vision and ambition for the organisation.

The BHC Strategic Plan 2021-2025 was developed in consultation with our Board of Directors and team members, and incorporates feedback from our residents and shareholders.

The Plan focuses on the delivery of two key goals.

Goal 1 – Growing the supply of affordable housing

BHC has developed over 2000 units of accommodation and aimed to grow our portfolio to 3500 by the end of our Strategic Plan. We have been working with our partners in all levels of government; seeking to facilitate opportunities for institutional investment; and collaborating with other strategic partners to bring this new supply to life. This is our number one priority, and it is the primary way that BHC makes a difference to those in need of a safe and affordable home.

Goal 2 – Supporting our communities and residents to thrive

The affordable homes we develop and manage provide a critical platform for people to move forward with their lives, however many of our residents have a real need for much more than just a roof over their heads. To empower people to create the changes they want to make in their lives, they also need support and opportunities to participate in employment, training, social and community activities. Supporting our residents in these ways will are a key focus of the Strategic Plan.

Crucial Strategic Enablers

To achieve these two key Goals, we also recognise the crucial Strategic Enablers that enable us to succeed. As an organisation we ensure we have the right people and culture, efficient processes and good governance for financial sustainability, and strong and clear communication about what we do, both as BHC and as a sector, and why it matters.
