From rental firefighting to a housing pipeline

The challenge isn’t effort — it’s the lack of a repeatable system. SHN helps you standardise your readiness, streamline the steps, and run a consistent process that reduces delays and improves decision-making on every property.

This repeatable process - helps you grow and scale your provider property portfolio!

Our 5-step approach

  • We start with a short call to confirm:

    • the property type and program use (SIL / care / transitional, etc.)

    • preferred suburbs/regions and non-negotiables

    • urgency and timing

    • internal decision-makers and approval pathway

    Outcome: a focused plan from day one.

  • We help you lock in:

    • clear property criteria (layout, location, price band, safety/fit)

    • roles and responsibilities (who inspects, who applies, who approves)

    • response and approval timelines (so you can move fast)

    • required documentation and readiness checklist

    • your provider “tenant narrative” (how you’ll be positioned to agents/landlords)

    Outcome: fewer delays and cleaner execution.

  • We build a clear, professional provider pack that explains:

    • who you are and the program model (high level)

    • how the property will be used and managed day-to-day

    • how rent, maintenance, issues and escalation are handled

    • who the agent/landlord deals with (primary + backup contacts)

    Outcome: reduced uncertainty and less back-and-forth.

  • We map the right agencies and contacts, then introduce you to:

    • offices managing suitable stock in your target suburbs

    • agents/landlords open to provider tenancies

    • the right property managers (not generic inboxes)

    Outcome: warm introductions aligned to suitability—not cold outreach.

  • We guide your team on:

    • how to present at inspections

    • how to answer common questions clearly and confidently

    • how to submit clean, fast applications (with a checklist)

    • how to have agents submit quality applications on your behalf and maximise approvals

    • After each outcome, we run a short debrief to capture what worked and refine the process for the next placement.

    Outcome: continuous improvement and faster approvals over time.

FAQs

  • We help care providers get approved for rental properties.

    We do this by:

    • preparing you to apply clearly

    • improving your documentation

    • explaining your model in plain language

    • connecting you with agents and landlords open to provider tenancies

    We focus on approvals, not property listings.

  • No.

    We don't list or advertise properties.

    We connect you directly with agencies that have properties suitable for provider tenancies, while assisting you to fast-track the Approval and Application process, while bypassing typical bottlenecks attached to competing for mainstream rental properties.

    You apply directly for properties.

    We will help you prepare and improve your chances of approval.

  • No.

    Support Housing Network is a housing consultancy.

    We are not a real estate agent and we do not manage properties.

  • Most provider applications fail because agents and landlords don’t fully understand them.

    We help remove uncertainty by clearly explaining:

    • how the property will be used

    • who is responsible for rent and maintenance

    • how issues are managed

    • who the agent deals with

    Clear information leads to faster decisions.

  • Property availability and landlord decisions are outside our control.

    What we do guarantee is a clearer process, stronger applications, and fewer dead ends.

  • We support organisations seeking rental properties for:

    • Supported Independent Living (SIL)

    • disability-supported accommodation

    • youth residential care and OOHC placements

    • homelessness and transitional housing

    • SDA providers and partners building housing pathways

  • This works best for providers who:

    • need one or more rental properties

    • want to move faster with less friction

    • want a repeatable process

    • can provide basic documentation and references
