About
The Housing Innovation Fund (HIF) Grant is a competitive grants program that aims to boost Western Australian (WA) housing supply by supporting industry-led adoption and commercialisation of modern methods of construction (MMC).
The HIF Grant has now been expanded from $28 million to $49 million, in recognition of the demand from the construction industry to take up innovation, supporting industry-led adoption and commercialisation of MMC.
The HIF Grant forms part of the $50 million Housing Innovation Fund, which aims to support local industry in adopting innovative construction technologies and practices.
