Housing Australia Future Fund Facility and National Housing Accord Facility

Co-investment finance for 40,000 social and affordable homes through the Housing Australia Future Fund and National Housing Accord.  

What is the Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF)? 

The Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF) is a Federal Government funding initiative administered by Housing Australia to support the delivery of 20,000 new social homes and 10,000 new affordable homes across Australia over a 5-year period, including housing to support acute housing needs.  

What is the National Housing Accord Facility (NHAF)?  

The National Housing Accord Facility (NHAF) is administered by Housing Australia to give effect to the Federal Government’s commitment under the National Housing Accord to support the delivery of 10,000 new affordable homes over the same 5-year period.  The National Housing Accord is an agreement between all levels of government, institutional investors and residential development, building and construction industry representatives to unlock quality, affordable housing supply over the medium term. 

How are the HAFFF and the NHAF funded? 

The Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) is a $10 billion investment fund established by the Federal Government and managed by the Future Fund.  The income generated by the HAFF will provide disbursements to fund the delivery of housing under the HAFFF and the NHAF.  Housing Australia is expected to administer the majority of the disbursements from the HAFF.
