Canberra-based community housing provider CHC is pleased to announce that three projects totalling 175 homes will be delivered in the ACT and NSW under the Federal Government’s Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF) and National Housing Accord Facility (NHAF) program.
CHC welcomed the Federal Government’s release today of the preferred projects under Round One of the HAFFF funding program.
CHC’s successful projects, with a total development cost of more than $100 million, cover a mix of housing types from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom homes and will be occupied by a range of people in need of housing from at-risk youth to families. The projects are:
CHC CEO Nathan Dal Bon said: “CHC is delighted to be delivering a wide range of much-needed homes in the ACT and NSW under the HAFFF, with the 80 affordable apartments in Queanbeyan marking CHC’s first NSW project.
“CHC’s successful projects under the HAFFF underscores the vital role public, private and community housing sector partners play in the provision of quality, safe and affordable homes. We are working hard with Housing Australia and our other partners to deliver these homes as soon as possible.
“Congratulations all successful applicants, and particularly those in the ACT and Capital region who will now be able to move forward with delivering this critical social infrastructure.”
*In September 2024, the Federal Government and Housing Australia announced that 185 projects would make up the initial pipeline under the first funding round of the HAFFF and NHAF.
