Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) has invested in HOPE Housing, backing a model that helps essential workers buy homes closer to where they work and live.
SCHF is one of Australia’s most trusted and influential children’s health charities, working to support the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and change the future for sick kids.
HOPE Housing exists to help essential workers buy homes closer to where they work, so the people our communities rely on are not pushed further away by housing affordability.
That is why SCHF’s decision to invest in HOPE feels like such a strong fit.
For HOPE, the investment is a meaningful endorsement of a model designed to respond to a growing challenge for essential workers. By co-investing alongside approved homebuyers, HOPE helps make homeownership more accessible while maintaining a disciplined focus on asset selection and long-term investment performance.
Phil White, CEO of HOPE Housing, said:
“We are very excited to welcome Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation as an investor in HOPE. There is a strong alignment in what both organisations are working to achieve. SCHF is focused on better outcomes for children and families, and HOPE is focused on supporting the essential workers that help deliver those outcomes. Bringing those two things together feels incredibly important.”
At a time when many frontline workers are being priced out of the communities they serve, SCHF’s investment supports a housing solution built to make a practical difference.
The Hon Kristina Keneally AO, CEO of Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, said:
“At Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, we’re committed to investing in ways that strengthen the communities that support the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. HOPE Housing stood out because it delivers both a sound, ethical investment and real support for the frontline workers who care for sick kids and their families every day. This investment is another way we honour the trust placed in us – by growing the funds we steward, and by contributing to a more secure, sustainable future for the people who keep our health system strong.”
This partnership also reflects a broader shift in the market. More investors are looking for opportunities where capital can be put to work in ways that are commercially attractive, socially relevant and capable of lasting impact.
We are proud to have SCHF alongside us as we continue to grow HOPE’s impact and support more essential workers into homeownership.
