Affordable Homes Program
The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:
The number of homes offered for sold by the SA Housing Authority under the Affordable Homes program and HomeSeeker SA has reduced over recent years due to the significant reduction in the sale of public housing by the Marshall Liberal government.
The Marshall Liberal government is now boosting opportunities for affordable housing purchase through the Affordable Homes Initiative, which will build and offer for sale 1,000 affordable homes to eligible South Australians over 5 years.
Number of homes sold to eligible purchasers within the exclusive listing period1 though the Affordable Homes program and HomeSeeker SA:
