Investment package to boost social housing

Abstract

In a move poised to deliver more social and affordable housing options across Western Australia, the State Government in partnership with Keystart has unveiled a new $150 million housing investment package.

Providing additional homes for people on low incomes or at risk of homelessness, the package will allocate $125 million for more than 300 new public housing units targeting homeless and vulnerable people on the priority waitlist, $6 million to refurbish 20 regional and 50 metropolitan public housing properties, and $19.2 million for 200 additional shared-equity homes.
