Effective from today, AFM will accept applications as part of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS).
NRAS is an Australian Government initiative to stimulate the supply of 50,000 new affordable dwellings. Successful applicants are eligible to receive an incentive for each approved dwelling, where they are rented to eligible low and moderate income households at a rate that is at least 20 per cent below the prevailing market rate.

Refinances and construction funding is available.
