Purpose

The NHIF CI can provide finance to help support critical housing-enabling infrastructure.

Overview

Eligible applicants can apply for finance for NHIF CI concessional loan, NHIF CI grant or a combination of these financing options.

NHIF CI finance can also be used for:

  • Demolition and site remediation including the removal of hazardous waste or contamination
  • Onsite and linking infrastructure

Where the application is for a grant, Housing Australia will give priority to proposals that also seek other forms of Housing Australia finance as part of a blended financing arrangement.

The terms of NHIF CI finance are flexible with a range of concessions available to suit the applicant's project requirements. These may include, for example, concessional interest rates, and/or longer loan tenure or extended period of capitalised interest and potentially combined with a grant component for projects that meet the eligibility criteria.

Limitations

Any of the following applicants may apply for finance through the NHIF CI:

  • Registered community housing providers
  • State or territory governments or government-owned development corporations or utility providers
  • Local governments or their investment corporations or utility providers
  • Incorporated special purpose vehicles that have at least one eligible foundation member (as above).
