Our Governance Framework

Our governance is anchored by three interconnected pillars: our Board, our Team, and our Members. Together, these pillars form a robust governance framework that ensures we remain purpose-driven, accountable, and impactful.

  • Our Board provides strategic direction and oversight, drawing on diverse expertise and cultural leadership to guide our mission.

  • Our Team manages day-to-day operations, turning vision into action and driving innovation and positive client outcomes.

  • Our Members safeguard our values and objectives, actively shaping the organisation’s future through participation and lived experience. United, these pillars create a strong foundation for delivering our vision of a safe and stable home for everyone, with fair and practical pathways to home ownership.
