The Federal Government will deliver $50.8 million for crisis and transitional housing across South Australia, building 101 homes and providing support for 2160 women and children escaping family and domestic violence and young people at risk of homelessness.

Minister for Housing and Homelessness today announced the funding at Junction's Marltarra Tiny Homes campus, south of Adelaide - where 10 transportable homes are supporting young people aged 16 to 18 leaving out-of-home care without family support.

Junction is one of eight projects across the state to receive funding through the Governments Housing Australia Future Fund.

It is also a key example where modern methods of construction are building homes faster for those that need them most. Manufacturing homes off-site while construction on-site progresses in parallel can significantly cut delivery times.

The government is backing these innovative housing solutions with $71 million from the fund dedicated to 117 new homes using modern construction to support over 3200 women, children and young people at risk of homelessness.

More than $13.4 million in funding will build on Junction's success, expanding the Marltarra campus from 10 to 20 studios and a new site in Northern Adelaide with a further 20 studios.

Support workers will be on site at both campuses to help young people into education, employment and secure long-term housing. Over the next 20 years it will support up to 600 young people.

In South Australia, the Government is supporting a range of housing, including independent living homes, cluster crisis homes, a new youth foyer and Tiny Homes.  This includes in:

• Murray Bridge
• Smithfield
• Smithfield Plains
• Whyalla Norrie
• Davoren Park
• Elizabeth North
• Adelaide’s south
• Adelaide’s north

The Federal Government is building 55,000 social and affordable homes in every corner of our country for Australians in need, including those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with more than 7,200 now complete and 23,000 in planning or construction.

The government is also delivering:

• $275 million through the Safe Places Emergency Accommodation Program and the Crisis and Transitional Accommodation Program to support housing for women and children experiencing family and domestic violence.
• $9.3 billion to states and territories under the National Agreement on Social Housing and Homelessness, including $400 million per year in dedicated homelessness funding that states must match.
• $124.6 million over four years for Reconnect, an early intervention program delivered through 100 services nationally, helping over 8,400 young people and their families every year.
• $59.4 million over four years to help more than 4,000 young people aged 16 to 24 access stable community housing, by supplementing rental income for community housing providers supporting young people on the Away from Home rate of Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY.
