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.

Visit section

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.

Crisis housing

Disability housing

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in New South Wales is housing designed specifically for individuals with significant functional impairments or high support needs. It is funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and provides options that allow tenants to live more independently while receiving the necessary supports.
