Historic Leap in Social Housing: Aboriginal Housing Victoria Boosts Homes Victoria’s Big Housing Build with an $86.8M Investment

Aboriginal Housing Victoria is proud to announce a milestone funding achievement of $86,800,000, marking a pivotal moment in our ongoing mission to create inclusive, sustainable communities throughout Victoria. This transformative investment plays a central role in supporting Homes Victoria, the dedicated state agency established to oversee the Big Housing Build initiative. Homes Victoria is committed to revolutionising the social housing system by delivering the largest single increase and the largest-ever investment in social and affordable housing across the state. With this infusion of funds, the agency is set to propel forward with constructing over 12,000 new homes, spanning metro and regional Victoria alike—an ambition that promises not only to boost housing availability but also to positively impact the lives of countless Victorians both now and in the future. The funding is a testament to the collaborative efforts of stakeholders who share a vision for a stronger, more resilient community, and it comes at a time when considerable improvements in social housing are most needed. Moreover, Homes Victoria is entrusted with managing more than $26 billion in housing assets, ensuring that the quality, safety, and sustainability of homes for over 116,000 residents remain a top priority. This ambitious initiative is set to create a ripple effect throughout the community by improving living conditions, fostering economic opportunities, and enhancing overall quality of life.
