State Housing Minister John Carey recently announced that 12 community housing organisations and local governments will share in $39 million in funding to deliver new social housing properties across Western Australia.

The grants are provided through the McGowan Government’s Social Housing Economic Recovery Package (SHERP), drawn from the Social Housing Investment Fund (SHIF), a $750 million investment to boost the State’s social housing by 3,300 properties over the next four years.

Co-operation Housing, a Member of Co-operatives WA, is one of the grant recipients, receiving funding of just under $3 million for a 8 dwelling project at Witchcliffe in the South West of Western Australia.
