In June 2020, the McGowan State Government announced a $319 million Social Housing Economic Recovery Package to aid the State’s recovery from COVID-19 and support some of the most vulnerable members of our community.  This stimulus package provides funding for approximately 250 new social or affordable housing dwellings, refurbishments to 1,500 public and supported residential housing and maintenance to 3,800 government-owned regional properties.  This is the largest housing maintenance and refurbishment program in our State’s history.  It is estimated the delivery of the Social Housing Economic Recovery Package will support approximately 1,700 jobs for Western Australians living across the state.
