Tough times call for terrific thinking. What are the major challenges in housing assistance facing policymakers? What key steps need to be taken to improve housing outcomes for disadvantaged people in New South Wales? These issues will be discussed at a conference from housing advocacy group, Shelter NSW, to be held tomorrow in Sydney.
The affordable housing advocacy group, Shelter NSW, has expressed concern that the NSW Government’s white paper on a new planning system does not contain adequate mechanisms to enable affordable rental housing.
Today, Shelter NSW released factsheets on housing trends across Australia and in New South Wales.
‘Inadequate support services for social-housing tenants can have drastic consequences for tenants with high needs, and for their neighbours’, stated Craig Johnston, Acting Executive Officer of Shelter NSW.
Shelter NSW has urged all levels of government to commit to expanding the supply of affordable rental housing, following yesterday’s release of new census data on homelessness.
