Developing for Social Impact
Hume are committed to our delivering programs and services that deliver social impact, ensuring that we remain a strong community anchor for our customers and stakeholders.
One of our core principles is that Housing is a Human Right. We recognise that for many customers who reside in our communities the provision of safe, secure and affordable housing is the foundation for them to focus on themselves, their families and being empowered to transform their lives. This self-determination is supported to engage customers through social and community activities, employment or training opportunities.
The Hume Development Team is looking at both revolutionary and evolutionary growth opportunities to bolster housing supply in NSW.
Revolutionary growth refers to Hume’s appetite for rapid and significant transformation across our operations. One way we would like to achieve revolutionary growth is through large tenders/partnerships.
These collaborations will see Hume expand our operations, access new markets, and leverage strengths through partnerships.
