Who we are
We believe everyone has a right to a safe and secure home.
Homes NSW brings together the housing and homelessness services of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) with NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC), the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) and key worker housing all under one roof – making the system more efficient and accessible.
Homes NSW has also been tasked with turbocharging the construction, maintenance and repair of social and affordable homes across our state.
We also can’t solve homelessness if we don’t have homes for people to live in, Homes NSW is a clear commitment to the NSW Government’s housing first approach and tackling homelessness in our state.
Confronting the housing crisis also requires a focused, people-centred approach, and we are committed to building a social housing system we can be truly proud of.
We are also supporting tenants to live fulfilling lives. A safe and stable place to live is the basis for creating positive changes in a person’s life.
We believe in providing dignity, respect and compassion to all our people.
Homes NSW is a consultative Division that works in genuine partnership with community and service providers to improve outcomes for the people we serve.
