Background
• In 2007, the Government committed to growing the
community housing sector from 13,000 to 30,000 homes in
ten years
• The sector has grown already to over 17,000 homes
• Around 90% of the properties being delivered under the
Nation Building Economic Stimulus Plan in NSW will be
managed by community housing providers. This alone will
boost community housing numbers by around 5,400
dwellings
• Community housing providers will also manage and own
additional properties via other commonwealth-funded
programs.
