Funding social and affordable housing across Australia
June 05, 2026
Investment in Housing Australia bonds is helping unlock cheaper financing for much-needed housing projects.
- Backing social housing where it’s needed most
- Turning bond investments into real outcomes
- Find out more about Pendal’s Responsible Investing capabilities
Regnan Credit Impact Trust and Pendal Sustainable Australian Fixed Interest Fund continue to invest in social and sustainability bonds from Housing Australia.
These support the construction and growth of social and affordable housing across Australia by providing community housing providers access to cheaper financing.
Examples of the types of projects supported through these bonds include the delivery of 365 social and affordable housing units by Bridge Housing in NSW[1].
This includes properties in Glebe which target First Nations people on low to moderate incomes, Petersham and Leichardt for tenants who have previously been homeless, and South Granville and Westmead where there is a mix between social and affordable housing.
Another example is in Victoria through community housing provider Haven Home Safe, which is focused on the delivery of social housing through townhouses and apartments in Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo.
The target cohort for these 113 properties are over 55s[2], those requiring specialist disability accommodation, youth and women, and those at risk of homelessness.
Regnan Credit Impact Trust and Pendal Sustainable Australian Fixed Interest Fund continue to support the delivery of projects like this through investments in Housing Australia.
These projects have life changing consequences for people like Andy, who was sleeping in a friend’s car after becoming homeless.
After being placed in temporary accommodation for three months to develop a rental history, Andy was then connected with a case worker from a community housing provider of services to those who have been sleeping rough.
He was able to rent in one of the buildings that were part funded by Housing Australia bonds.
With the support of the community housing provider, Andy says “I have a lounge, I have nice clothes… my children are back in my life. I am happy to be here, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”[3]
