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.
