The Brief
Head Start Homes enables community housing tenants to pursue their home ownership dreams, without the need for a deposit, via our Head Start Guarantee and empowerment services. Our home ownership pathway frees up much-need homes for those on housing wait-lists who are likely to be homeless. Our holistic approach to reducing homelessness and poverty, combined with our cross-sector partnerships, makes us the missing piece in the home ownership puzzle for Australians in need. By providing this new pathway Head Start Homes has a multiplier effect on ending poverty as it always helps the following two households at once:
the community housing tenant who needs to overcome structural disadvantage to purchase a home; and
the family or individual on an approved waiting list who is likely to be homeless and moves into the newly vacated community housing home.
This brief focuses on an initiative called PLAY START – a life-literacy gamified program for families and individuals living in community housing that supports their transition to home ownership.
- Design a high-fidelity set of wireframes & prototype to represent your proposed design for the PLAY START MVP mobile app.
