Case Study
LIVEABLE HOUSING
Brickworks donated products at cost to help build the Hope Street, Melton, affordable housing facility. Hope Street, Melton, provides support and transitional affordable accommodation for young people and young families for 12 months to two years.
Brickworks supports the work of the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) via its membership with the Housing Industry Association (HIA). HIA proposed an election imperative for the access to housing finance. Following the federal election, the government has committed $500 million to NHFIC to underwrite first home buyers with a deposit of less than 20% and $25 million to research Australia’s housing demand, supply and affordability In FY20, Brickworks will further explore opportunities to supporting affordable housing developments.
