In reply to Ms MICHAELS (Enfield) (28 July 2021). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

1. In recent years, approximately 20 – 25 per cent of total loans have been for homes in regional areas. Based on current forecasts for total loans, HomeStart estimates between 320 and 400 homes will be financed in regional areas for 2021-22.

2. The following table, based on data provided by SAHA and HomeStart's lending statistics, shows the number and proportion of SAHA's one thousand affordable project homes that were financed by HomeStart during 2020-21.
