The Albanese Labor Government have signed contracts with the Minns Labor Government to deliver more social homes for New South Wales through the latest round of Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Albanese Labor Government\u2019s commitment to deliver 55,000 social and affordable homes nationally, 1,535 new homes will be built around New South Wales across 14 projects, representing almost $1.2b of investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This round has seen close, effective collaboration between the Albanese and Minns Labor Governments, with each deploying their strengths \u2013 in financing, land access and streamlined approvals \u2013 to get projects to contract sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These homes will support Australians doing it tough including key workers, veterans and older women at risk of homelessness and women and children escaping situations of family or domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite delays caused by Coalition and Greens opposition in the Federal Parliament, the HAFF is now delivering long-term, reliable funding to help address Australia\u2019s social housing shortfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government is investing $43 billion to improve housing supply\u2014across social, affordable, and market housing\u2014and to help more Australians buy a home of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister Clare O\u2019Neil:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday’s announcement is proof that when the Commonwealth works with the states on housing, we get results that change lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Every one of these new homes represents hope for a family in New South Wales doing it tough. Whether it’s a mum and her kids escaping domestic violence, a veteran struggling to find affordable housing, or a frontline worker priced out of their own community \u2013 these homes will give people the foundation they need to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This is what happens when governments stop making excuses and start building solutions. We’re working with the NSW Government and community housing providers to create a pipeline of homes that will make a real difference for decades to come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n NSW Minister for Housing Rose Jackson:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is what Labor governments do \u2013 we work together to deliver real results. These homes will give thousands of people the stability and dignity they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor too long, housing in NSW was neglected. This partnership is a major step in rebuilding a system that puts people first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese homes mean safety for women and children escaping violence, security for older women and veterans, and peace of mind for essential workers who keep our state running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In just one year, we\u2019ve delivered the biggest increase in public, social and affordable housing for NSW in over a decade \u2013 this new funding means we can build even more.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Albanese Labor Government have signed contracts with the Minns Labor Government to deliver more social homes for New South Wales through the latest round of Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) funding.
