South Australia is surging ahead and is on track to deliver more than 335 new social housing homes, including apartments, after the Federal Government announced more than $200 million of investment from the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF).

The new social housing homes will be a mix of two- and four-bedroom houses and will be built by the SA Housing Trust. The Federal Government is also funding two apartment buildings to be delivered by Community Housing Provider, Junction Australia.

Federal Housing Minister Clare O’Neil and State Housing and Urban Development Minister Nick Champion today announced the HAFF would support builds worth approximately $216 million in the second tranche of funding from the nation-wide Federal funding scheme.

A total of 335 homes will be built across metropolitan Adelaide, Loxton, Berri, Renmark and Ceduna.

This comes in addition to the recent $135.8 million from the Federal Government’s Social Housing Accelerator, another social housing program building an additional 441 social homes in South Australia.

The Trust is also delivering 1,093 new public housing homes by 2026 as part of the South Australian Government’s Housing Roadmap.
