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 nonprofit organizations to provide housing
and housing-related services.
We do not provide emergency accommodation
or other housing. If you are seeking housing assistance,
please see our list of agencies who can help you.
