We are PlaceShapers

The national network of place-based housing organisations. We are a collective of collaborators, change-makers and policy-shapers. We are a voice for our members and a voice for our communities because many voices can make a bigger difference than one.

Together, we go beyond housing.

Our Strategic Plan 2023 - 2026

Our three-year strategic plan has been shaped by our members and our analysis of the challenges and opportunities ahead for place-based, community-focused, housing associations.

We will achieve these outcomes by connecting, communicating, and collaborating for greater influence. Our work will focus on the areas that are most relevant to place-based housing associations and deliver the maximum impact for our members.
