The Minns Labor Government has delivered the largest increase in government-built public, community and affordable homes in over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past year alone, 1711 new social and affordable homes have been built or brought back into use as part of the Minns Labor Government\u2019s historic $6.6 billion Building Homes for New South Wales<\/em> program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Homes NSW has helped rehome 7,796 households over the past year, providing thousands of families with a safe and stable place to call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is in sharp contrast to the previous Liberal National Government, who sold off more than 4730 homes in 12 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this progress is promising, there is still much more to be done, which is why the Government is keeping its shoulder to the wheel to ensure homes are being delivered, not just promised and the public housing system is being rebuilt after a decade of neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year the Minns Labor Government announced the largest investment in housing in the state\u2019s history, through the $6.6 billion Building Homes for New South Wales package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This included $5.1 billion to deliver over 8,400 new social homes, with at least 50 per cent of which will be prioritised for victim survivors of domestic and family violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This work has continued in this year\u2019s budget with a world leading pre-sale guarantee to accelerate housing construction and help tackle the state\u2019s housing supply challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time the Government has introduced the largest planning reforms in a generation including standing up the Housing Development Authority and building well-located homes around public transport hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Minns Labor Government is getting on with the job of delivering well located residential, social and affordable homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Premier Chris Minns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are getting on with the job of delivering the social, affordable and residential housing that New South Wales needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday\u2019s numbers are a really positive sign that we are making progress, but there\u2019s still more to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are losing twice as many young people as we are gaining on a year-by-year basis and a city without young people is a city without a future. The only way we can provide that future is with housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are cutting red tape, introducing landmark reforms, releasing surplus government land and making unprecedented investments to confront the housing crisis facing the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister Rose Jackson:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is the biggest year for social and affordable housing in our state\u2019s modern history. We\u2019re not just talking about the housing crisis, we\u2019re doing something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “For too long, governments walked away from public housing. We\u2019re rebuilding it. Brick by brick, house by house, street by street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe inherited a public housing system that was left crumbling, where homes sat empty or were sold off. We\u2019ve brought those homes back to life. We\u2019ve got a long way to go, but this milestone proves that when you invest in housing and make it a real priority, you can change lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is about dignity. It\u2019s about recognising that everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to call home and housing is a human right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minns Labor Government has delivered the largest increase in government-built public, community and affordable homes in over a decade.
