Manager
As a provider of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), finding the right tenants for our properties is one of the most critical aspects of our work. Housing Hub has been an invaluable partner in this process. Their team brings a wealth of knowledge about the NDIS and a deep understanding of the unique needs of SDA tenants. They go beyond simply matching tenants with properties—they facilitate genuine connections that ensure long-term success for both tenants and providers. The platform is user-friendly and efficient, making the process of advertising vacancies and receiving inquiries seamless. What truly sets Housing Hub apart, however, is their personalised approach. They take the time to understand the specific features of our properties and the unique supports our participants require, ensuring a great fit every time. Thanks to Housing Hub, we've seen faster occupancy rates and higher tenant satisfaction. Their support has allowed us to focus on delivering quality accommodations, knowing the tenancy matching process is in expert hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Housing Hub to any SDA provider looking for reliable and impactful tenancy matching services.
