The January Dashboard shows a total of 4 658 homes had been completed towards the Tasmanian Government’s commitment of 10 000 social and affordable homes by 2032.

New research released last week has shown that Tasmania is “the standout performer” in the delivery of new social and affordable rental homes.

The Revival of Social Housing Construction in Australia 2020-2030 report shows the number of social and affordable rental homes in Tasmania increased by 14.8 per cent between 2020-21 and 2024-25, ahead of all other states and territories and well ahead of the national average of 5.4 per cent.

The report shows there were 2 176 new social and affordable homes built or acquired in Tasmania over that time, providing safe and affordable homes for thousands of families.

During January, work was completed on 20 new two-bedroom social housing units in Glenorchy (pictured above).

Homes Tasmania provided $9.8 million in funding for this development, which will provide long-term homes for Tasmanians on the Housing Register, with tenants already moving into their new homes.

And our highly successful MyHome shared equity program reached a major milestone in January with the 1 000th settlement achieved. This represents 1 000 Tasmanian households who have been helped to buy or build a home to call their own.

During January, there were 18 MyHome settlements – 11 for existing homes and seven for new builds, including house and land packages.
