Homes Victoria has released the Regional Supportive Housing Program Request for Proposal (RFP).

As previously announced in the State Budgets 2022-23 (capital) and 2023-24 (operational), the program includes $23.6 million for capital and almost $3 million in operational funding over twelve months for a minimum of two supportive housing sites in regional Victoria.

The RFP is available via the Buying for Victoria website. 

This is the first permanent supportive housing in regional Victoria for people with complex needs who have experienced rough sleeping. Homes Victoria are seeking proposals from the following types of organisations:

  • Registered Housing Agencies
  • Community Service Organisations accredited under the Victorian Human Services Standards, in partnership with a Registered Housing Agency
  • Aboriginal Controlled Community Organisations accredited under the Victorian Human Services Standards, in partnership with a Registered Housing Agency. 

The RFP will seek well-considered proposals which outline delivery of both capital and support components, aligned to Housing First principles. In recognition of the Victorian Government’s commitment to addressing Aboriginal homelessness, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (as per above) are strongly encouraged to apply.

Any questions about this RFP can be sent to tenderenquiries@homes.vic.gov.au. Questions will be answered in a published Frequently Asked Questions bulletin.
