The housing market in the western suburbs is booming, making it harder than ever for people on lower incomes to secure affordable housing.
One of the most sought after areas is Woodville West, and AnglicareSA is opening up new opportunities for people to live in the area.
In partnership with the state government, AnglicareSA’s Woodville West development involves the construction of six villas and 24 apartments.
The 30 new homes will provide much-needed housing options for older South Australians, young people leaving care and those living with a disability.
The development is located on a corner block of Nicholls Terrace and Elizabeth St in Woodville West.
AnglicareSA’s executive general manager housing Michelle Gegenhuber said the Woodville West development was an important investment for the state.
“There is no doubt that access to appropriate, safe and secure housing options is a crucial issue facing many South Australians,” she said.
“We stand ready to partner with state government to address this need and, ultimately, create better outcomes for our community.
“The construction of 30 new homes in Woodville West is another step towards providing much-needed social and affordable housing to those in need.
“Once these properties are developed, AnglicareSA will work with individuals and families to support them to enjoy positive, constructive tenancies and, in turn, create strong, safe and sustainable communities.”
Construction begins this month, with the project scheduled for completion in November 2022. It is expected that residents will move in by the end of 2022.
