Introduction
The original version of this paper was produced in December 2019 at the invitation of the Associate Minister of Housing (Public Housing) for consideration and input into work being undertaken to review the current funding settings. In the intervening months, as a sector Community and Transitional Housing Providers have witnessed and responded to the initial wave of impacts of COVID-19 on the vulnerable sectors of society we serve.
This paper was endorsed by the CEO and Housing Leaders Forum on 29 July 2020, for wider circulation and feedback. To help kick-start the economy and keep people employed the Government is progressing a number of ‘shovel ready’ construction projects. Predominantly the projects that are currently being advanced are horizontal infrastructure projects.
