WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
Designed for low to moderate income earners, Affordable Housing aims to address the gap in the market between Social Housing and the private housing market. Affordable Housing is not the same as Social Housing. Recipients of Affordable Housing properties may be in a position where their income is too high to qualify for Social Housing, yet they still face financial difficulty accessing private housing.
DO I QUALIFY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
Applicants need to meet certain income eligibility limits and provide details of their assets, along with other relevant information such as medical documentation and a need to reside in the area. Housing Trust is proud to welcome applications from people over the age of 55 years or over 45’s for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants.
