The Community Housing Initiative Perth (or CHIP) released some good news this week on their plans to create a 10-unit affordable housing structure at 63 Halton Street.
In a press release CHIP organizers noted they were increasingly optimistic after Town council amended their policies last month to designate surplus lands for Affordable Housing.
While CHIP was previously concerned that a ‘Request For Proposals for the site might allow for conventional housing by developers, Council has now directed that proposals be based solely on the creation of Affordable Housing.
CHIP Co-Chair Reverend Ken Davis says they’ll be ready to respond with a proposal when the Halton Street RFP is released.
