What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Labor has promised to build 55,000 new social and affordable houses by 2029 and has rolled out recent tax reforms in response to housing market pressures. An analysis of the Australian housing market found that only 3,000 social and affordable homes are currently built annually, leading to waitlists of 190,000 households. Peak body modeling suggests Australia requires 510,000 additional social and affordable homes by 2050, averaging 23,000 per year.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The current annual construction rate is insufficient to meet long-term housing needs, according to the commissioned modeling. The delivery of new housing is hampered by a typical lag of three to five years between securing funding and completion. These targets are set against the backdrop of soaring waitlists for essential affordable housing.
