**Australia’s national housing target falls short, with Victoria contributing to a projected 262,000-home deficit.**
The federal government’s goal of building 1.2 million homes by mid-2029 is increasingly seen as unattainable. Victoria, like other states, is lagging behind due to bureaucratic delays and underwhelming completion rates. The Housing Australia Future Fund has delivered fewer than 5,000 of the promised 20,000 social homes, and affordable housing projects remain behind schedule. The National Housing Supply & Affordability Council now forecasts only 938,000 dwellings will be completed nationwide, with Victoria’s shortfall playing a significant role in this gap[2](https://www.masterbuildinginspectors.com.au/building-news-july-2025/).
