A guide for housing finance Financial models and innovation strategy continue to stand at the forefront of future opportunities and growth for the community housing sector and not for profit organisations in Australia. The government s perspective on risk, decision making and policy is integral to accomplishing the end goal of increased housing supply for this sector. However, given the current fiscal environment where government funding and subsidies remain severely constrained, new and more sophisticated ways are necessary to meet the needs of the current and emerging markets. Both flexible financial models and innovative strategies will be key drivers to developing and diversifying new capital and enable a business model not solely reliant on government funding for its viability. Key industry stakeholders from across Australia will discuss: Latest update on government policy & opportunities Innovate, diversify & develop effective financial models & structures Attract private investment & institutional finance Increase supply by identifying alternative income sources Leverage assets & cash flow to deliver outcomes Influence effective partnerships to enable innovative funding & service models Identify & manage risk effectively to achieve sustained growth Delivering social housing bonds We need to look at innovative models to help new projects get off the ground - Mike Baird, Premier of NSW, March 2015 Who is attending?
