The McGowan State Government’s Social Housing Economic Recovery Package announced in June 2020, is the largest housing maintenance and refurbishment program in our State’s history. This $318.7 million stimulus package will see the refurbishment of 1,500 public and community houses, supported accommodation facilities such as family and domestic violence refuges, and residential group homes. It also includes a rolling maintenance program targeting 3,800 regional government-owned properties, and the delivery of about 250 new homes to help the most vulnerable people in our community.
