Are You Eligible?
Community Housing
Community housing provides secure, affordable, long-term rental accommodation for individuals and families living on low to moderate incomes.
In order to secure community housing, upon successful application you will be placed on a waiting list that is accessible by all social housing providers.
- Be an Australian citizen or hold permanent residency in Australia
- Be a resident of NSW
- Be able to sustain a tenancy, with or without support
- Be able to make repayments of any former debts to a social housing provider
- Not own any assets or property that could reasonably be expected to resolve your housing needs
- Have a household income within the income eligibility limits
- In general, be at least 18 years of age
Affordable Housing
Affordable rental housing is designed to meet the needs of people on low to moderate incomes, where the rent charged is 80% of the market rent for the property. Affordable housing has higher income limits than community housing so it allows you to earn more money while still paying rent that is lower than the current market rent.
