PB Termite Treatments AHS

Programmed Facility Management (Programmed FM) has been engaged by Department of Communities to deliver a portion of the Social Housing Economic Recovery Package (SHERP).

The SHERP is to aid in the WA Covid-19 economic recovery and support the WA Construction industry while improving the lifespan and quality of homes available for social housing. While the primary objective of SHERP is about creating jobs in the building and construction industry, SHERP also provides an opportunity to focus on employment outcomes for members of the community who experience barriers to employment and for those who are disproportionately impacted by the economic and social impacts of COVID-19. This includes Aboriginal people, women, youth and people with disability. The strategic principles underpinning this approach is to support the employment of Aboriginal people, women, youth and people with disability.

The WA housing Strategy 2020-2030 along with the SHERP Strategic alignment are available on the WA State Government website. https://www.wa.gov.au/government/document-collections/wa-housing-strategy-2020-2030
