WELCOME HOME

The Small House Project is here!

After four years of planning, fundraising and hard work, our first affordable home has been installed in the Maple Street Community Garden. Thanks to local builder Ross Meneely, pictured here with co-ordinator Marg McKenzie handing over the keys!
 ​THE CHASM HOUSING VISION
“We envisage a compassionate and sustainable community where everyone has a home they can afford.”
CHASM Housing is a Queensland-based community organisation that advocates for affordable housing solutions in  the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

CHASM Housing, in partnership with the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (MNC), develops projects and conducts research to help increase the supply of housing that is small, affordable, quality, accessible, age and environmentally-friendly to enable people to remain living in their neighbourhood of choice.
​Thank you to all our generous donors supporting the project.
​Recent Donations include:
  • ​Hammond Optometry provided sunglasses for raffle prizes.
  • Easton Lawyers provided free legal advice on the lease.
  • Maleny Chamber of Commerce gave us the proceeds from the 2018 Xmas Street Festival raffle.

Thank you to all Supporters of  The Small House Project 

We are seeking Sponsorship for our latest innovative project, ​The Small House Project, using relocatable homes on long-term leases, to provide low-cost housing for up to ten small households in the Hinterland. 

​The completed project will help people facing homelessness and who are unable to remain living in their communities due to a lack of affordable housing.
