National and state housing agreements and reports

Australian Government funding to the states and territories is subject to the:

• Federal Financial Relations Act 2009
• Intergovernmental Agreement on Federal Financial Relations.

Housing and homelessness funding is provided under the:

• National Housing and Homelessness Agreement (NHHA)
• associated bilateral schedule between the Australian and Queensland Governments.

From 1 July 2018, the NHHA replaced the:

• National Affordable Housing Agreement
• associated National Affordable Housing Specific Purpose Payment
• National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness.

Under the NHHA, Queensland is expected to receive funding of around $1.6 billion over 5 years to 2022–23, subject to meeting the Australian Government’s funding requirements.

Queensland’s implementation of the NHHA is mainly a continuation of the:

• core business of the Queensland Housing Strategy 2017–2027
• reform initiatives in Partnering for impact to reduce homelessness in Queensland.

Reporting on the NHHA will be publicly available by 31 October of the following financial year from 2019.
