Future Directions for Social Housing in NSW
NSW social housing system was created after the Second World War for working families with low incomes. In the 1950s, 73% of people using social housing were couples with children. Today the social housing system supports a very different demographic. It is a safety net for the most vulnerable in the community – including the elderly, people with a disability or severe and chronic mental health illness, carers with long term caring responsibilities and those experiencing drug and alcohol misuse and domestic and family violence. Social housing is a vital service underpinning the social good of NSW. This ten year strategy encompassing the NSW Government’s reforms is about more than properties.
