New guidance for the National Housing Infrastructure Facility (NHIF) program is set to increase the supply of crisis and transitional housing for women and children experiencing domestic violence, and youth experience homelessness.
The NHIF – which is available to local governments or local-government owned corporations – involves a $1 billion, demand-driven program administered by Housing Australia that provides grants and/or loans for:
- Critical infrastructure to unlock and accelerate new housing supply
- New social and affordable housing
- New crisis and transitional housing – upcoming and new
The program will open in early 2025 and will remain open until all grant and loan opportunities are allocated.
