Direct Housing Investment

Investing directly in social and affordable housing

Housing Australia facilitates structured finance solutions - including senior debt, subordinated debt, equity co-investment, or other tailored arrangements - that allow institutional capital to flow into eligible projects alongside community housing providers, faith-based organisations, governments, and developers.

These opportunities enable institutional investors to achieve competitive risk-adjusted returns while delivering measurable social impact.

Who can invest

You must be an institutional investor as defined by the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council -“Institutional investors are, broadly, entities through which investors collectively invest. They have large quantities of capital to deploy, invest for the long term, and spread their funds across a diverse range of investments¹.”

This includes superannuation funds, insurance companies, asset managers, banks, and other wholesale investors.
