In this episode, we sit down with Nicola Foxworthy, Founding Director of Imagine Housing, to explore the evolving landscape of affordable and social housing in Australia. We discuss why these housing models matter to both the private and public sectors, the key differences between affordable housing and housing affordability, and why subsidies are essential to making these projects viable.
Nicola also shares insights on the role of Community Housing Providers, the challenges of inconsistent funding, and key lessons from initiatives like the Big Housing Build and the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF). Looking ahead, we examine future opportunities to support emerging groups facing housing stress.
Nicola brings over 20 years of expertise in affordable housing delivery, spanning executive roles in community housing and the public sector. She is a specialist in policy, funding, strategic planning and stakeholder engagement, with deep cross-sector networks. Alongside her work at Imagine Housing, Nicola is a Sessional Member of Planning Panels Victoria and co-founder of Middle Ground Housing, an incubator for cooperative housing solutions.
Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the past, present and future of affordable and social housing in Australia.
