The Albanese Government has appointed Mr Damien Tangey as a part‑time member to the Housing Australia Board (the Board) for a five‑year period.

The Albanese Government is announcing a new partnership with States and Territories to deliver up to 5,000 new social homes under a fast‑track Round 2 of Labor’s Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF).

This partnership is expected to unlock up to $3 billion in new investment in social housing across Australia, creating thousands of new construction jobs.

Today we’ve passed legislation to deliver new tax breaks to support the construction of around 80,000 new homes to rent.

We’re working across Government and with states and territories to help build more homes, making it easier for Australians to rent and buy.

This will encourage investment and construction in the build‑to‑rent sector.

The Albanese Government is investing $26 million for enabling civil works including roads, sewerage, water and power to deliver hundreds of new homes in South West Sydney as part of the government’s $32 billion plan to overcome a housing crisis a generation in the making.

The Albanese Labor Government wants more Australians to own their own home.

Australians deserve to have a safe place to go when they need it most.

Today the Crisis and Transitional Accommodation Program (CTAP) grant round opens, with $100 million allocated for new crisis and transitional housing for women and children experiencing family and domestic violence, and older women at risk of homelessness.
