Financing more social and affordable housing
Our expertise is bringing social and affordable housing projects to life by facilitating financing structures that provide project certainty for investors, governments and community housing providers.
The majority of our involvement is at the start of these housing projects – bringing community housing providers, investors, governments, developers and construction companies together to secure suitable funding for eligible projects and make more housing available. We then work with the project owner – typically community housing providers or State governments – to monitor timing, budget and project delivery so more Australians have more homes to live in.
Update on Housing Australia funding product rebrand
Overview
To make it easier for applicants to navigate funding options and access support, the Australian Government, in partnership with Housing Australia, is streamlining the social and affordable housing funding products we administer.
This change will make it easier for applicants to navigate funding options and access support.
What’s changing
Under this streamlined approach, key programs will be consolidated and rebranded:
- HAFF – Social and Affordable: combines the Housing Australia Future Fund Facility, National Housing Accord Facility, National Housing Infrastructure Facility – Social and Affordable Housing, and Affordable Housing Bond Aggregator
- HAFF – Crisis and Transitional: rebrand of the National Housing Infrastructure Facility - Crisis and Transitional
- Housing Australia Critical Infrastructure: rebrand of the National Housing Infrastructure Facility - Critical Infrastructure.
Existing program operations, funding arrangements and eligibility criteria remain unchanged at this time.
Housing Australia is implementing these changes in phases to support a smooth transition for stakeholders and ensure continuity across all programs.
Current contracts, funding agreements being progressed, and applications under assessment will not be affected by the rebrand. We will continue to share updates on our website and LinkedIn as we move toward the official rebrand of our funding programs.
