I am happy to share that Homes New South Wales (Homes NSW) has informed Programmed that we are their preferred maintenance services provider for three regions across their Social Housing portfolio. 
 
Homes NSW has issued letters of intent to preferred service providers of their 13 Contract Areas, with Programmed Facility Management preferred in three regions. 

Programmed will provide responsive and planned maintenance services to Homes NSW's social housing portfolio for the inner west of Sydney, Southern NSW and Western NSW, including Bathurst, Dubbo, Forbes, Wagga, Albury, and Griffith. 

Partnering with a focus on people and social housing

Homes NSW (formerly Land and Housing Corporation) is established by the NSW Government and is a custodian of the largest social housing portfolio in Australia.
 
Homes NSW consolidates the housing and homelessness functions of the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), the Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO), streamlining services by bringing them under one roof.
 
This agency will help rebuild and restructure the social and affordable housing system, to create a seamless approach with a focus on people front and centre. Homes NSW is a statutory corporation that owns and manages land, buildings, and other assets that comprise over 95,000 properties. 

Programmed's scope of work

The mobilisation period of Programmed with Homes NSW will begin in March 2024. In this contract, more than 90 new jobs will be created at Programmed, with multiple service providers engaged to create stability and income for businesses across Australia.  
 
A huge thank you and congratulations to the teams who made this happen.
