Australians for Affordable Housing: 2012-13 Budget Statement

in

In order to immediately boost the supply of affordable housing, and prevent a downturn in the building industry, where private investment in dwellings is expected to halve in the 2012-13 financial year, Australians for Affordable Housing is calling on the Government to fund an immediate a $2.5 billion stimulus payment in the 2012-13 budget to deliver 8,300 social housing properties. This would boost the capacity of the social housing sector, pave the way for future reform and help to prevent a downturn in building activity.
