The Housing Investment Fund (HIF) is currently open with the Queensland Government having recently doubled its size to $2 billion. Annual funding of $130 million a year is now available to support a revised target of 5,600 social and affordable home commencements by 30 June 2027.
The recent expansion of the HIF means that greater support can be provided to affordable housing projects and deliver on the State’s commitments under the National Housing Accord.
To expand HIF eligibility to include affordable housing projects, the current market invitation will close at 5pm (AEST) on 27 January 2023. This pre-lodgement form will remain open until the closure. Please refer below for more information about how to fill in this form.
A new market invitation for the HIF will be released in early 2023. Updated application requirements and evaluation criteria will be published at this time.
To be notified when the new market invitation goes live, potential applicants can provide their contact details to Queensland Treasury by emailing HIF@treasury.qld.gov.au.
Queensland Housing Investment Growth Initiative (QHIGI)—pre-lodgement form
The QHIGI was established to accelerate the delivery of new social and affordable homes, through an integrated capital investment program across the State.
We’re seeking partnerships with individuals, organisations, developers and housing providers to deliver more housing for those who need it.
The QHIGI is delivered through three funding initiatives:
All proponents are required to complete this pre-lodgement form as the first step in submitting your proposal for consideration under the QHIGI.
It includes a series of simple questions that will allow the QHIGI Concierge Team to determine the appropriateness and suitability of your proposal before progressing to an EOI and/or Request For Detailed Proposal (RFDP) stages.
The Concierge Team may also provide general assistance to proponents who have questions about the QHIGI, or the pre-lodgement form, to ensure your proposal is targeted to the most appropriate funding initiative.
Any advice provided by the Concierge Team will be based on the information contained in this pre-lodgement form and in addition, questions asked through the QHIGI website’s questions and answers page.
The Concierge Team:
Proponent information contained in this form will be used in subsequent EOI and/or RFDP phases as a summary report.
Proponents will be asked to provide more detailed information should your proposal progress to future phases of assessment.
At each subsequent EOI or RFDP phase proponents will also be asked to confirm whether the information contained in this on-line form is still current.
The pre-lodgement process is supported by the QHIGI Concierge Team.
