Welcome

Shelter NSW is a nongovernment, nonprofit, social change agency committed to working for a fair and just housing system. We advocate for the housing interests of low-income and disadvantaged people in New South Wales, and provide community education to build the capacity of non-profit organizations to provide housing and housing-related services.

We do not provide emergency accommodation. If you need housing or want other housing assistance, please see our list of agencies who can help you.
