Australia’s social housing system is currently facing a crisis. The long term provision of adequate social housing services across Australia are under significant strain. Australian state and federal governments lack the level of funding required to develop new, revitalise and maintain existing social housing stock. The demand for social housing continues to increase at a rate that does not meet with the available supply. A fresh approach is required for financing, developing new, and maintaining the existing portfolio of Government owned social housing assets.
