South Australia has a proud history of public housing. However, for the three decades before my government was elected in 2022, our public housing stock had been in serious decline.

We have built more than 1,000 new homes, achieving the first significant net increase to South Australia’s public housing stock in a generation.

We understand that building new homes is just one part of what we can do to ensure our neighbourhoods and Housing Trust tenants are supported.

That is why a re-elected Malinauskas Labor Government will support public housing tenants by building 200 new supported accommodation places to help prevent anti-social behaviour and give everyone the opportunity to thrive.

Additionally, we will significantly renovate 300 vacant, run-down Housing Trust homes to bring them back into stock.

A re-elected Malinauskas Labor Government will continue to deliver on our achievements to ensure safe, stable and suitable homes and neighbourhoods.
