What we do

The Community Housing Grants Program is primarily responsible for the management of capital grants awarded to Community Housing Providers (CHP)) to build new community housing, refurbish existing community housing stock that may be nearing its end of useful life and undertake maintenance on housing stock in regional and remote communities.

Through the Community Housing Grants Program, more than 70 CHPs, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), community housing providers (CHPs) and local governments received funding to deliver:

  • over 300 new social housing properties
  • over 800 refurbishment projects in 11 metropolitan and regional areas
  • essential maintenance on 187 dwellings housing more than 100 community members across remote Aboriginal communities.
