“The $11.3 billion package includes $9.3 billion for a new 5 year National Agreement on social housing and homelessness, $1 billion towards crisis and transitional accommodation, and a further $1 billion in infrastructure funding for states and territories to get these homes built sooner.
“Today’s announcement provides an additional boost to the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) to build more housing under that scheme. It is something HIA has been calling for as part of this year’s federal Budget.
“The 'Homes for Australia' plan also includes working with the higher education sector to increase the supply of student accommodation for domestic and international students. This segment of the market is often overlooked when it comes to housing investment and can often lead to more pressure to the private housing market.
“A key part of the 'Homes for Australia' plan to build more housing is the $1 billion in funding for states and territories to build the roads, sewers, energy supply and water infrastructure, that is needed to get homes shovel ready faster.
“Today’s announcement is not the full answer to addressing Australia’s significant housing shortages, but it is an important step forward. It will bring more supported housing options into the market over the next few years targeted to those who need it most and reducing demand from these home seekers on other parts of the housing market,” concluded Ms Martin.

Tasmanian builders shouldn't be shut out of housing work over union membership
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has today written to the Tasmanian Government calling for a commitment that state-funded and state-partnered housing work will continue to be awarded on merit, not industrial arrangements, warning new federal procurement rules could shrink the pool of builders able to deliver the homes Tasmania needs.
Rushing Working from Home laws will only lead to more bungling
The Victorian Government continues to push ahead with its Working from Home laws despite the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) call for it to abandon its proposed legislation, warning the changes would impose additional regulatory pressure on businesses already struggling and kill productivity.
