Australia's Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), initiated in June 2023, intended to finance the construction of 30,000 affordable homes within five years. The Albanese government asserts the fund has contributed to completed or in-progress homes, whilst admitting that some have been acquired and converted. However, critics, particularly from the Coalition, argue that the scheme fails to add to the housing stock, accusing the government of misleading claims. They contend that no new homes have been constructed under Labor's housing policies. The program faces scrutiny regarding its efficacy in addressing the housing crisis and fulfilling its promise of increasing housing supply.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
