Hi Slumlord,
GEHA (Government Employees Housing Authority) is the WA organisation responsible for housing government employees in country areas of WA – except for those localities listedin the first post.
GEHA used to construct their own houses using cheaper levels of fitout and often with smallish floor dimensions.
Over the years nurses, teachers and police (largest tenant pools) found they had more and more difficulty attracting and retaining these employees in some country areas. A major issue being the standard of housing.
GEHA (DHW) now lease and sub lease suitable houses from private landlords and usually offer up to five year leases at above market rates.
Having been a GEHA tenant for many years (18) the move is considered very positive from an employee perspective.
Not sure of the financial arrangements between GEHA/DHW and landlord but we did often get a slightly cheaper rent that was topped up by the government.
