I Watched Women Fall Through the Cracks. Then I Decided to Do Something About It.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I’ve been in property development for over a decade. I’ve raised capital, developed affordable housing and helped investors achieve double digit returns. I know how the system works; and I’ve seen exactly how it fails women.<\/span><\/p>

When the pandemic hit, I watched it happen in real time. Living in the Byron Bay area, I saw older women who had built their lives there displaced as rents skyrocketed. There were no advocates or solutions. They were just falling through the cracks.<\/span><\/p>

I started Women 4 Homes because of something I kept seeing in my work raising capital for affordable housing projects. The minimum investment was $50,000. And I knew that many women wanted to be part of the solution but they simply didn’t have that kind of money. I wanted to change that Women 4 Homes is for women who want to work together to create affordable, sustainable, and inclusive homes.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

This is about making the housing crisis an everybody solution – not waiting for the government, not waiting for developers, but putting the power back into women’s hands. Bricks and mortar you can see, touch and understand. A real Australian asset that is owned by us.<\/span><\/p>

I’m approaching 50. I’m paying more attention to the stages of life that come next and to the women who have already walked that path. The wisdom our elders carry, the contribution they make to our communities, and the way our society repays them by saying go and fend for yourselves. I’m not okay with that.<\/span><\/p>

The prevailing model in the world right now seems to be burn and destroy. I believe it’s time for a different energy to rise, that of the nurturer, the wise woman, the builder of communities. Women 4 Homes is part of that rising. And while we speak the language of women, this movement is open to anyone who shares this vision. Men are welcome here too.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Movement<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Women 4 Homes is more than an investment opportunity. It is a movement of women who care about where their money goes, who want their money to work harder for them and who believe that home is a fundamental human right.<\/span><\/p>

We’ve got our first co-living home for older women in progress. We have the investors, the funds management company, the land, and the builders together, and we are starting the build in early 2027.<\/span><\/p>

And this is just the beginning. Our vision is a future where affordable, sustainable and inclusive homes exist for everyone who needs one.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
