Canberra Raiders raise $34,000 for Homes for Homes
The Green Machine’s best season in decades provided a welcome boost to Homes for Homes with every point the Raiders scored in home matches at GIO Stadium in 2016 turned into cash for homelessness. Homes for Homes received $400 from every try and $200 from every goal scored by the Raiders.
Currently, there is a critical shortage of affordable homes and thousands of Australians are homeless each night. With the Homes for Homes initiative, 0.1% of the sale proceeds of all land sold in Denman Prospect will go to towards more affordable housing.
In addition there will be a permissive (voluntary) caveat on the title of all future sales, meaning homeowners can choose to donate a tax deductible 0.1% of their property price to Homes for Homes at the time they sell. For example, a $500,000 property transaction would mean a $500 contribution. This fantastic scheme means that Denman Prospect and its community will forever be part of the solution to reduce homelessness.
Capital Estate Developments Managing Director Stephen Byron has applauded the Raiders Points for Cash – Homes for Homes Charity Promotion.
“Denman Prospect is the first entire suburb in Australia to commit to the Homes for Homes initiative. The social housing project is focused on reducing homelessness in the ACT,” Bryon said.
“We are pleased to have this winning partnership with the Canberra Raiders, which allows us to give back to the community by contributing $400 for every try and $200 for every goal in the Homes for Homes Charity Promotion.”
