ENSURE STOCK

Ensure stock meets diverse client needs.

Initiatives	Achievements
Housing ACT to continue to better align stock to client needs.	From July 2006, the ACT Government allocated $30 million over three years on new public housing stock. In 2006-07 DHCS acquired 25 additional properties and in 2007-08 a further 27 properties were acquired. As the aging population increases in Canberra, the ACT Government will work to ensure that new and renovated housing provides options for accessibility and incorporates universal design. This will help to reduce waiting times for people who require modified or special needs housing.
