CHIA welcomes housing announcements

Community Housing Industry Association

The Community Housing Industry Association welcomes more lower cost finance for the community housing sector.

The Prime Minister on Friday announced the Affordable Housing Bond Aggregator’s liability cap will be expanded by $2 billion after CHIA called for the cap to be raised.

CHIA CEO Wendy Hayhurst said: “This is a welcome and important change that will make the delivery of social and affordable housing easier.

“We welcome the government’s commitment to getting more social and affordable homes built in Australia.

“We look forward to being involved in discussions on other proposals, especially ideas to stimulate build-to-rent capacity where the community housing sector has particular expertise to share.”
