Why we support HAA
We believe we have a responsibility to help curb the chronic shortage of affordable housing in Australia.
That’s why we decided to partner with Housing All Australians (HAA) – a private sector initiative to address homelessness. HAA is focused on ending the intergenerational issue of homelessness through engaging the private sector.
The HAA mission is close to our hearts. And something we’ve been supporting since it began in 2018.
At APD we’re here to develop successful projects, but we’re also interested in managing developments with purpose – developments that result in positive community impact.

We have worked with HAA in various ways to help evoke discussion about this topic and support HAA in its drive for real change.
First, APD has financially supported HAA’s National Economic Study, which began in 2021. This research aims to uncover the future societal costs that result from failing to invest in affordable housing. You can read the findings of this study below.
The insights from this study has been crucial to kickstarting action and garnering further support on this issue.
Our Director, Brad Paddon, also attended the Parliamentary Committee Inquiry into Homelessness in Victoria, as a member of a private industry experts panel. The panel offered current and concise advice to the Committee, as well as their collective support in addressing this issue.
APD also supported the documentary 'Under Cover', narrated by Margot Robbie, that exposes the crisis of homelessness among middle-aged women. The goal of the film was to raise awareness about the fastest-growing homeless demographic in Australia: women over 50.
