CEHL provides appropriate, secure, and affordable housing and fosters rental housing co-operatives to thrive, so that more Victorians experience the dignity of a home in a community guided by the seven international co-operative principles.
CEHL’s strategic objective is to sustainably maintain and grow our housing portfolio and our organisational impact.
