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).
