Agreements/Acts

"The Commonwealth State Housing Agreement is an agreement, authorised under the Housing Assistance Act 2007 (Cth), between the Australian and the Australian Capital Territory Governments."

The 2003 CSHA is the primary vehicle by which the Commonwealth and ACT Governments provide social housing assistance. Both Governments will provide a total of approximately $136.4 million over the period 2003 to 2008 to achieve the objectives and outcomes set out in this Bilateral Agreement.

Funds provided through the CSHA will be used to address housing need, to ensure that the provision of housing is not only an end in itself, but produces other positive social outcomes, and to ensure that housing strategies are coordinated with other government policies to support individuals, families and communities.
