Affordable Housing: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Laura Behan:

We certainly do not. On the cost-rental equity loan, which is how the AHBs are funded in order to secure affordable rents under the scheme, the allocation made available by the Department to support AHBs, which are doing a wonderful job in ramping up the delivery of cost-rental housing, has been increased twice this year. Approvals are ongoing in the Department. Under the new national development plan, the funding that was negotiated by the Minister for housing is certainly adequate to fund the significant pipeline of AHB cost-rental delivery both that we have sight of at this stage and that is on the horizon.
