The South Australian Housing Trust (SAHT) is an independent statutory authority originally established by the Government of South Australia responsible for providing low-cost rental housing to working people and their families, as a means of supporting industrial development in the state prior to World War II. Following the end of the war its role expanded to become a large-scale developer and public housing authority, but since the 1980s this has been curtailed. From the early 2000s to the 1st of July 2018 SAHT Services were administered through Housing SA, a division within the Department for Human Services. From the 1st of July 2018 Housing SA and Renewal SA were merged into the South Australian Housing Authority.
