The ongoing partnership between the Albanese and Cook Labor governments is delivering more social and affordable homes for Western Australians through the latest round of the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), with 515 new homes to be built across Western Australia.
This is part of both governments' commitment to make housing more affordable and accessible for those who need it most.
These homes will support Australians doing it tough - families, older women, and young people at risk of homelessness.
Despite delays caused by opposition in the Australian Parliament, the HAFF is now delivering long-term, reliable funding to address Australia's housing shortfall.
Many homes from earlier rounds are already complete, with thousands more under construction or in planning.
The Albanese Government is investing $43 billion to improve housing supply - across social, affordable, and market housing - and to help more Australians buy a home of their own.
This round of the HAFF will support projects in regional Western Australia and across metropolitan Perth.
Quotes attributed to Federal Housing Minister Clare O'Neil:
"Today's announcement is proof that when the Commonwealth leads on housing, we get results that change lives.
"Every one of these new homes represents hope for a family in Western Australia doing it tough. Whether it's a mum and her kids escaping domestic violence, a veteran struggling to find affordable housing, or a frontline worker priced out of their own community - these homes will give people the foundation they need to rebuild their lives.
"This is what happens when governments stop making excuses and start building solutions. We're working with the Western Australian Government and community housing providers to create a pipeline of homes that will make a real difference for decades to come."
Quotes attributed to WA Housing and Works Minister John Carey:
"The WA Labor Government's record $5.8 billion investment in housing and homelessness measures is bolstered by a strong relationship with the Federal Government.
"Since 2021, we have added more than 3300 social homes. The latest round of the HAFF will help our government continue to boost housing supply in Western Australia, especially for the most vulnerable in the community.
"It will make a meaningful contribution to ensuring Western Australians in regional communities and Perth have access to affordable and secure housing."
