Community Housing numbers have been based on 2016 Census data and the National Community Housing Collection (reported in Report on Government Services 2017). These reports did not include the full scope of community housing as some Community Housing organisations operate outside the standard definition of Community Housing or have accommodation that may be used for different housing needs, such as crisis accommodation.

Affordable renting data is not currently recorded by the ACT Government.

Affordable home purchase data from the Suburban Land Agency shows that 24.3 per cent (93 dwellings) of land releases between 1 January and 31 December 2013 were sold from ACT Government land releases at the affordable price thresholds. Attachment B shows the breakdown of sites released by the Land Development Agency with an Affordable Housing requirement in 2013.

For the 2018 request, the data is unavailable as sites identified for 2017-18 continue to be sold and released into the market until end of June 2018. Exact figures are unavailable and would result in incomplete reporting.

Data is not available for the 2020 request as Housing Targets for Affordable, Public and Community Housing will be developed alongside the Indicative Land Release Program annually.

Attachment A
