Social Housing Projects Across Nation Win HAFFF Funds

Social housing in Melbourne, Victoria, where HAFFF Round Two will deliver 5001 social homes.

Where more than 5000 new homes will be built thanks to funding from the second round of Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF) funding has been revealed.

Contracts for the social homes to be delivered nationally at a cost of $14 billion were confirmed last month.

Homes will be funded in Victoria, NSW, WA, the ACT, the NT, SA and Queensland.

In Victoria, 1275 social homes across 25 projects are to be built thanks to $991 million in Federal Government funding and $360 million from the  Victorian Government.

Locations for 506 of the 1275 social homes have been confirmed and include the redevelopment of four estates; Bronte Court at Williamstown, Noone Street at Clifton Hill, Dunlop Avenue at Ascot Vale and Alamein Avenue, Ashburton. 

More than 400 social homes will delivered by those redevelopments. 

Five new low-rise projects—at Plunkett Street at Bellfield, Burnewang Street at Albion, Melon Street at Braybrook, Electra Avenue at Ashwood and Hilda Street at Glenroy—will deliver more than 100 social homes. 

Those homes will be for women escaping family violence, those experiencing homelessness and older Victorians. 

Contract finalisation, planning and consultation processes are under way to allow construction to start on all 25 projects by mid-2026. 

In NSW, Link Wentworth, partnering with Landcom, has announced an affordable housing project of 63 homes at Schofields has been approved under the round.

Across the NSW, 14 projects has won round two funding; 12 of which will be in Greater Sydney. 

The other two are at Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour on the Mid-North Coast.

The NSW projects have a combined cost of $1.2 billion.

In Queensland, 1005 homes at 17 sites have won round two funding.

The first three projects are at Everton Park, Redcliffe and Torquay, and will provide 80 homes. 

In WA, construction is to start next year on a three-storey, 34-unit project at the corner of East Street and Canning Highway, Fremantle, the first project in the west supported by round two of the HAFFF, which will ultimately deliver 515 social homes in the state. 

Also allocated funds in the round was $216 million for 335 social homes in SA; in Adelaide, Loxton, Berri, Renmark and Ceduna.

The Northern Territory Government will add $7.52 million to the $79 million provided under round two to deliver 82 homes in Darwin and Palmerston, 14 at Alice Springs and six at Tennant Creek. 

And in the ACT, 85 new social homes across the Inner North, Inner South and Gungahlin districts are among projects to win HAFFF funding under the round.
