Broome North Affordable housing

What is Broome’s affordable housing program?

These homes are for keyworkers¹ and their families. Keyworkers are those who work in the community in an essential role but who are not eligible for social housing as their income is too high. The one and two-bedroom properties are all located in Broome North.

They are currently all occupied, however as leases come to an end and income eligibility changes, homes do become available. If eligible, your details will go onto our waitlist.

¹ Keyworkers (such as those working in industries like Healthcare, Emergency Services, Education, Childcare, Not-for-profit, Retail, Transportation and Local Government) will be prioritised.

Who is eligible?

Under the NRAS scheme, Foundation Housing must ensure that dwellings are only rented to eligible tenants who are able to provide 12 months proof of income. To be eligible you must be a keyworker (such as those working in industries like Healthcare, Emergency Services, Education, Childcare, Not-for-profit, Retail, Transportation and Local Government) and meet the NRAS Initial Household Income Limits for the 2022-23 criteria. The minimum gross annual income is $54,643 and the maximum combined family income is $111,802 (subject to eligibility criteria)

Additionally, you must:

• Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
• Not own any property or land
• If single, not have assets above $332,000
• If partnered, not have combined assets above $412,500

Please note that if your expression of interest is placed on our waiting list, then all income will need to be reassessed at the time a property becomes available and before an offer can be made.

At the end of this form, you will be asked to upload documentation. You will not be able to submit the form if you have not supplied Photo ID and proof of income.
