Preferred Providers are those that will typically house people from a specific target group or geographical location. Preferred Providers will have effective and ethical governance, a commitment to quality service delivery and continuous improvement, and must comply with the National Community Housing Standards 2003. Preferred providers may be able to access SCHIP funds under special circumstances, but generally will access funding under the CHP, CAP, CDHP, and JV Programs. Registered Preferred Providers seeking to upgrade their registration status to Growth Provider must demonstrate capacity, as well as viable strategies to expand their stock of housing from funds additional to SCHIP or Community Housing funding programs. Please refer to the Department’s Registration Policy document for further details on eligibility criteria.
