What is the Family Home Guarantee (FHG)?
The Family Home Guarantee (FHG) is part of the Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). The Family Home Guarantee is for eligible single parents and eligible single legal guardians of at least one dependent, such as aunts, uncles or grandparents. Applicants can include those who are not first home buyers.
The purpose of the Family Home Guarantee is to support eligible single parents and eligible single legal guardians to buy a home. It does this by allowing Housing Australia to issue 5,000 guarantees each financial year to eligible single parents and eligible single legal guardians with a deposit of between 2 and 20% of the property value.
People’s Choice is a participating lender offering the Family Home Guarantee. If you’re a single parent or single legal guardian interested in applying for the Family Home Guarantee, please register your interest below or speak with our Home Lending Specialists to discuss the options available to you.
Who is eligible for the Family Home Guarantee (FHG)?
An eligible single parent or eligible single legal guardian is not required to be a first home buyer but must not own separate property at the time of settling a loan under the Family Home Guarantee. The single parent or single legal guardian must meet the eligible lender's credit assessment criteria.
To be eligible, home buyers applying for the Family Home Guarantee must:
- Have a minimum 2% deposit
- Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Be an eligible single parent or eligible single legal guardian of at least one dependent
