Living Options

How can we help?

UnitingSA Housing is all about providing affordable rental options for those who need it most.

We understand that housing is about more than shelter. It’s the platform on which we build strong communities and support people to participate and flourish.

We provide affordable housing to those on low to moderate incomes who are having difficulty securing housing in the private rental market. We have a range of housing options, from units to free-standing homes, and manage tenancies and properties as a landlord.

For Tenants

How is rent calculated?

We offer two types of housing options: Social Housing and Affordable Housing.

For Social Housing, rent is based on a percentage of household income. Whereas, for Affordable Housing rent is based on a percentage of market rental prices.

Where are our properties located?

While we provide housing across a number of areas in metropolitan Adelaide, most of our housing options are located in the northern and western suburbs.

How can I register my interest for housing?

Download the Registration of Interest in Housing form. We can also email or post a form to you on request.

Submit the completed form to either:

If you need help or have questions about this registration form, please contact Housing SA on 131 299 or visit a Housing SA office.

Please note: Lodging this form does not guarantee housing and no time frames for housing are offered. Registrations of interest will not be accepted by people already receiving subsidised rental accommodation via other community housing organisations or Housing SA.

In some situations your support worker – e.g. social worker or medical professional, may undertake a Housing Needs Assessment by completing a Housing Needs Assessment Form on your behalf and returning this to UnitingSA Housing. This information can be used to help determine which category is most appropriate for you.
