Social housing

Social housing is long-term rental housing for people on very low to moderate incomes that may be experiencing ‘rental stress’ in the private market. It can be provided by community housing organisations like Hume, the state government or by Aboriginal housing organisations.

Affordable housing

Affordable housing exists to provide secure and reasonably priced rental options for individuals and families who are earning low to moderate incomes. It helps bridge the gap for those who find private rental housing too expensive but don’t qualify for social housing.
