AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am happy to provide the response on behalf of the Minister for Housing and Works. (1)-(2) These figures are as at 30 June 2007: full social housing stock includes public housing of 34 879, joint venture housing of 1 918 and community housing of 1 386, making a total of 38 183. As advised previously, an important strategy, both at a state and national level, to increase social housing stock is to expand the community housing sector. To that end, over the next four years, up to $210 million will be available to community housing providers to provide additional social housing.
