Housing Authority

The former Housing Authority (also known as the Department of Housing) was an affordable housing provider involved in land development, housing construction and property management. Its work contributed to social and economic growth by: delivering quality housing that people can afford, and providing people with opportunities to prosper through home ownership. The Housing Authority worked in close collaboration and partnership with the private, government and not-for-profit sectors to find new ways to increase the supply of affordable housing in Western Australia.

On 1 July 2017, the Housing Authority was amalgamated with the Department of Child Protection and Family Support, Disability Services Commission and the Department of Local Government and Communities, to form the new Department of Communities.
