Innovate housing project on display
PUBLIC site visits will be made available this month to allow locals to see how the People Purpose Place project at Malanda is progressing and whether it may be an option for those in need of housing.
The People Purpose Place project is all about creating housing in an innovative way, allowing like-minded people to form a household.
The not-for-profit group is bringing their pilot project to life which, in the first instance, will see older women and essential workers provided with new options for housing.
In a group-like setting, those in need of housing will go through coaching and workshopping together, forming a household and creating a space with like-minded people, and only then moving into mutual housing with a view to creating a home.
The project received positive feedback at the recent JCU Housing Summit in Cairns and is now open for applicants who will enter a coaching program prior to qualifying for a place in this unique housing solution.
“While it’s enormously important to use these events to get our important message out, it is time to actively deliver solutions,” People Purpose Place director Darren Finlay said.
“We are looking for individuals, groups and organisations who are open to our people-oriented concept - we want applicants who recognise the need for coaching in forming households in order to ease their way out of housing stress and into a household of the future.”
Locals can visit the site themselves at 42 Ginn Road, Malanda on 21 August from 4pm-5pm, or on 22 August from 10am-11am.
