The benefits of increased investment in social housing include more housing for people in need, secured jobs and apprenticeships, upgraded and well-maintained social housing homes and shorter wait times for maintenance and repairs.
We are buying and building more social housing and redeveloping some of our existing housing to build more homes. We will mainly buy/build one and two bedroom units as this is the most in-demand size of home. The ageing population and increase in the number of people with mobility issues means that we also need homes that are smaller and well-located. Homes will also be architecturally designed to blend in the local areas.
The redevelopments are part of the Australian Government’s Nation Building Economic Stimulus Plan, which is about creating and protecting jobs now. We need to have the first 858 homes built by June 2010, and 75% of all Stimulus Plan redevelopments finished by December 2010. These deadlines are extraordinarily tight but they need to be in order to provide jobs now. For Housing NSW, this is a golden opportunity to dramatically boost the amount of social housing we have to help people like you. We need to take it.
The redevelopment process of some of our existing housing is underway. Residents living in sites identified as suitable for redevelopment are being contacted by dedicated relocation coordinators to discuss their relocation needs. The relocation coordinators are assisting and supporting residents through the relocation process and finding suitable properties that meet the residents’ needs. Moving dates are dependant on how soon suitable homes can be found.
