Meet our newest Board Member

In late 2024, The Cottage Homes welcomed a very experienced new Board member, further enhancing our already strong Board.

We warmly welcomed Alice Lawson to our Board in November 2024.

With a Masters in Public Policy and an Electrical Engineering Bachelor Degree, Alice brings a wealth of knowledge and her more than 30 years’ experience working to improve affordable housing. She is committed to sustainable design, tenant engagement and community development.

For 23 years, Alice worked for the SA Housing Trust holding executive roles in housing asset strategy and maintenance, housing policy, and land use planning. She has worked at the state and national level, and in her most recent role as Director Business Improvement, she delivered major technology reform projects to improve services for customers facing homelessness, navigating the private rental market and for tenants of public and community housing.

Before working at the SA Housing Trust, Alice worked in the SA community housing sector and for Habitat for Humanity in the USA.
We are excited to see how Alice’s expertise and experience will help us continue to grow and look forward to the positive contribution Alice will bring to our community and future endeavours.

Welcome to The Cottage Homes team Alice!
