The Victorian Government is ramping up delivery of the Big Housing Build across the state with the first allocation of funds to community housing projects – with more than $1B in projects to commence this year.
The Government is investing $2.25M in Greater Shepparton delivering 25 new social housing homes – creating more than 70 local jobs.
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP said the investment will support vulnerable individuals and families in Shepparton and be delivered in partnership with BeyondHousing.
The homes will be made available to those in the most need of housing including people living with mental illness or disability, people escaping family violence, Victoria’s First Peoples and individuals experiencing homelessness.
“Everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable home. This record investment will make a huge difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity,” said Mr Gepp.
A minimum of $45M will be invested in the Greater Shepparton area.
