Expression of Interest and Request for Proposal Processes
Other funding is also available as a result of State and Government investment in social and affordable housing in Western Australia.
With this funding, Communities announced a series of innovative approaches to the procurement of social and affordable housing, including an expression of interest (EOI) process for development proposals and a number of site specific Requests for Proposals (RFP).
Community Housing Providers may also apply for funding through these EOI and RFP Processes.
Call for Submissions from Community Housing Providers
Communities is calling for submissions from registered community housing providers to help increase the supply and diversity of social housing across Western Australia.
The Call for Submissions from Community Housing Providers provides a framework for Communities to work with registered community housing providers in a variety of ways to refurbish or deliver new housing options managed by the sector for vulnerable people. This could include capital grant funding, land leases, and land contributions.
Community housing providers must first contact us at CFS-CHP@communities.wa.gov.au to discuss and define projects prior to lodging a submission. Following this, a submission can then be made to Communities at any time until 16 September 2024. Please note that the intention is for this CFS to be renewed on an annual basis.
Download the Call for Submissions documentation below which outlines the requirements and evaluation criteria.
