148 new homes will be developed across Newcastle over the next three years, as part of a $60 million social housing pipeline backed by the NSW Land and Housing Corporation.
Eight new units on Stannett Street at Waratah West are set to be completed and ready for tenants to move in by the end of the month.
The twelve projects also include a 20-unit development at Lambton, and there's discussion around another potential project at Wallsend.
It comes after a Memorandum of Understanding between Newcastle Council and the Land and Housing Corporation to fast-track priority social housing and alleviate housing pressure.
Newcastle Council and the State Government have each put in $6 million for the delivery of new housing.
