Housing Australia notes the Federal Government’s announcement today and welcomes the appointment of Damien Tangey as a non-executive member of the Housing Australia Board for a five-year term.

Housing Australia has supported more than 200,000 eligible home buyers to make home ownership a reality since the inception of the Australian Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS or Scheme) in January 2020.

Housing Australia is pleased to announce the approval of 12 project contracts within the initial pipeline of housing projects selected under Funding Round One of the Federal Government’s Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF) and National Housing Accord Facility (NHAF).

Housing Australia today announced a new Executive Leadership Team. This follows an organisation-wide review in consultation with the Housing Australia Board and team to deliver on the Federal Government's housing priorities.

Housing Australia has approved up to $17.7 million in funding to enable the delivery of 66 new social and affordable homes across three sites in North Parramatta.

Thanks to the Home Guarantee Scheme, Elizabeth, a single woman in her 50's has been able to purchase her first home.

On 1 October 2025, the Home Guarantee Scheme was renamed the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme. All home buyer case studies, reports and publications published prior to this date will reference the Home Guarantee Scheme. However, these references can now be read as references to the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme.

Today, Housing Australia confirms the release of the list of preferred projects selected under Funding Round One of the Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF) and National Housing Accord Facility (NHAF).

Housing Australia is pleased to reveal 29 projects have reached contract close as at 3 March 2025, to deliver 2,107 social and affordable homes, and continues to work closely with applicants to progress contract negotiations with projects included on the list to reach contractual close by 30 June 2025.

Housing Australia has today launched the $1 billion National Housing Infrastructure Facility Crisis and Transitional Housing (NHIF CT) program by releasing the Program Guidelines.

Through the NHIF CT, Housing Australia will provide grants and loans to support the delivery of new crisis and transitional housing projects for vulnerable Australians, including women and children experiencing family and domestic violence, and youth at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
