Women’s Property Initiatives (WPI) is a not-for-profit that develops and provides affordable long-term housing for vulnerable single women and single women with children. We work with the private, public and community sectors to develop our housing which is rented at no more than 75% of the market rate or 30% of household income. WPI believes that single women and single mothers face significant disadvantage when it comes to employment opportunities, ability to work and income. They often have the greatest need for safe, affordable long-term housing. We seek to provide them with this housing as a foundation for a better life and a secure future for their children. Many of our beneficiaries are women who have experienced domestic violence, whilst others are from culturally diverse backgrounds or are leaving the correctional system. All of these women were vulnerable and needed understanding. Without WPI they faced great risk of homelessness. Obtaining safe, long-term housing has had a very profound effect on the lives of these women and their families, enabling them to live with dignity and contribute to their communities.
