Homes for Homes, created by The Big Issue, operates on a voluntary promise that when a home sells, 0.1% of the sale price will be donated to help increase the supply of social and affordable housing for those in need in NSW.
NSW LRS will facilitate voluntary donations from NSW properties sold by registering caveats and informing customers of the opportunity to donate.
Adam Bennett, NSW Land Registry Services CEO, said the property industry had a pivotal role to play in supporting and enabling long-term solutions to homelessness.
“During Covid-19 we have been reminded of the stability and security having a home provides.
“To be a part of helping the citizens of NSW contribute to combatting homelessness is a privilege, and our staff are proud to help facilitate Homes for Homes’ work”.
Steven Persson, CEO of Homes for Homes and the Big Issue said:
“We are delighted to receive support from NSW Land Registry Services during a very crucial time for social and affordable housing. More than ever, a collaborative, sustainable solution is needed to solve homelessness in Australia.
“Homes for Homes is on track to raise more than 1 billion dollars for social and affordable housing over the next 30 years. With this partnership we believe more people experiencing homelessness in the NSW community will get to experience safe, secure and permanent housing.”
Notes to editors
Homes for Homes raises donations by inviting homeowners to register their property and make a donation at the time they sell. The donation is 0.1% of the sale price. This promise is recognised by adding a caveat to the property title. NSW LRS will facilitate these caveats.
