GHD and VHA partner to support housing and employment opportunities for veterans
GHD and Veteran Housing Australia (VHA) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to support housing projects and employment opportunities for veterans.
VHA provides secure, affordable, long-term rental housing for the veteran community. Its parent company, Carry On was founded in Victoria 90 years ago to assist veterans and their families through emergency accommodation, education grants and financial aid.
Through our partnership with VHA, GHD will:
- Provide pro bono technical assistance to support housing projects and developments
- Assist with developing pathways to employment opportunities at GHD
- Support veteran community activities and other fundraising events.
“Housing is a basic need and promotes sustained employment, social inclusion, and improved physical and mental health outcomes. Our partnership with GHD will allow us to draw on the technical knowledge and experience of its people to help develop secure and affordable housing where veterans and their families can thrive,” says David McNamara, VHA’s CEO.
GHD is well positioned to help VHA deliver sustainable and affordable housing, as well as career and employment opportunities for our veteran community. Through our broad spectrum of technical capabilities and professional development programs, we can deliver real, tangible outcomes that align with GHD’s values of safety and respect, creating vibrant, inclusive communities of the future.”
