Our mission is to collaborate to create vibrant, sustainable communities that meet the needs of renters, owners and people who are homeless by developing, managing and providing access to affordable housing.

At Unison we value:
○ People: We put the customer at the heart of what we do, we value each other and welcome diversity.
○ Respect: We are respectful of all and welcome open and honest discussion.
○ Positivity: We have a positive and dynamic approach to our work. We embrace change, learn from our mistakes and seek to find solutions.
○ Accountability: We do what we say we will do.

Our focus is on providing housing opportunities in areas where people might otherwise be excluded from the housing market. We will develop more mixed tenure properties, so that our housing reflects the diversity of the surrounding community. Using affordable housing as a base, Unison will create communities that are service rich and assist people to create lives they value. This means creating partnerships with other community service organisations, and connections to the wider community.

Unison is the result of a merger in 2017 of Yarra Community Housing and Urban Communities Limited. Unison provides a diverse range of housing services, including social, affordable, and transitional housing and youth foyer properties, and is the access point for people who are homeless in western Melbourne. We believe that affordable housing is the foundation on which to build a life of value, but that a good life takes more than just housing. A good life takes place in a community.

Unison is one of the largest housing providers in Victoria, managing more than 2500 tenancies. We provide affordable housing, and work to reduce disadvantage and social exclusion for people who have previously been homeless by helping to create communities around them. Unison also assists over 3000 people each year who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
