Housing for All is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year in this decade. Over 300,000 new homes will be built by the end of 2030, including a projected 90,000 social homes, 36,000 affordable purchase homes and 18,000 cost rental homes.
Housing for All is a whole-of-Government Plan, encompassing numerous policy areas across the four pathways to a sustainable housing system. My Department is working in close collaboration with all relevant Government Departments, State Agencies and other stakeholders, with a strong focus on implementation and delivery.
The Government publishes progress reports every quarter, and will continue to do so throughout the lifetime of the Plan. These detail the progress made on all Housing for All actions and policy objectives that have a delivery timeline relevant to the publication. There have been ten quarterly progress reports published to date.
The most recent progress report, for Q4 2023, published on 25 January 2024, details the progress made to date on the actions identified as part of the Housing for All Updated Action Plan which was published on 14 November 2023. This, and other progress reports to date, can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: h
