In 2018, the team at Assemble and MAKE launched the Assemble Model, a new pathway to home ownership. The Assemble Model is the culmination of three years of research by MAKE, both locally and overseas, applying these learnings to the Australian context. The model aims to address the fundamental desire for the majority of Australians to own their own home and is a direct response to multi-level government policies on housing affordability.

Kris has deep experience in alternative housing models focused on improving affordability in the Australian context and supports a number of not-for-profit housing initiatives.
