Affordable housing builds generations of stability.

Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society - SCAHS

Our Story

The Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society (SCAHS) is a non-profit organization that is building housing and implementing programs to improve the quality of life for people in the community.

Established in 2016, the organization began with a passionate group of volunteers sitting around a kitchen table with the shared goal of providing affordable housing. They recognized the need for a local non-profit organization to start building homes that most people can afford. SCAHS has now established itself as a leader in the non-profit housing sector on the Lower Sunshine Coast, with a proven track record of success. 

The society is governed by a board of local community members who volunteered over 4,500 hours of their time last year.
