Celebrating the Success of HOPE’s Inaugural Fund

By September 11, 2024October 23rd, 2025No Comments

June 30 Results: Growth, Impact, and Social Dividends

The portfolio assets in HOPEs inaugural fund have outperformed the market. But these financial results tell only part of the story. The true impact lies in the lives changed: the essential workers who have found stability and hope through homeownership, thanks to the innovative shared equity model implemented by HOPE. The success of Fund 1 is not just measured in numbers but in the social dividend it has yielded, providing essential workers with opportunities they never thought possible.

As Fund 1 closes for new applications on October 19th, 2024, the launch of HOPE Housing Residential Property Trust (Fund), an open-ended “Evergreen” structure, ensures that this vital work will continue. This new Fund aims to support more than 3,000 essential workers on their journey to homeownership, building on the momentum of Fund 1 and paving the way for a brighter future for Australia’s essential workforce.

A Vision of HOPE and Impact

Tim Buskens, CEO of HOPE Housing, reflects on this milestone – “Our inaugural fund has proven that the shared equity model isn’t just viable – it’s a game changer. With the trust and support of our foundation investors, we’ve delivered more than just returns; we’ve provided a lifeline to those who keep our communities running. These are the people who care for us, protect us, and keep our cities moving, and now they can finally build more secure futures for themselves and their families. This is just the beginning. Fund 1 has laid the groundwork, and with the new Fund, we will continue to push boundaries, expand our reach, and create lasting impact across the country. Together, we’re not only growing wealth but also building stronger, more resilient communities.”

As HOPE Housing looks to the future, we invite forward-thinking investors to join our transformative movement, making a meaningful difference while achieving superior financial returns.
