23.01.2022 Introducing our Co-founder and CEO, Mark Khoo! Mark has a wealth of experience in the community housing sector. Before starting WelcomeMat, he assisted Churches Housing Inc to develop social and affordable housing in NSW, and worked as a successful property solicitor at a top tier firm and as a Partner at Salvos Legal. Mark was inspired to do something to streamline the application process for affordable housing after seeing how long applications took to process, and the st...rain this puts on everyone involved. His passion led him to create WelcomeMat, with a key goal to deliver efficiencies and cost savings for housing providers, and provide a more accessible and equitable system for those seeking affordable tenancy.

22.01.2022 What is affordable rental housing? Affordable rental housing is rental housing for very low to moderate-income households. It's generally priced at least 20% below market rent, so that people can afford a place to live while also being able to keep up with everyday costs such as food, clothing, transport, medical care and education.... Each affordable rental property has its own eligibility criteria, and the providers assess applications like yours against these criteria, but WelcomeMat helps to streamline the process - search, apply and get assessed in one place. https://www.welcomemat.com.au
