In NSW there is one process to apply for social housing. This central system, called ‘Housing Pathways’, makes sure the same eligibility rules are used for everyone.
Housing Pathways results in a single waiting list that is used across the state. You can choose whether you would like to be housed with Housing NSW or a community housing provider. If you mark that you are willing to accept either, this may increase your chances of being housed, because you will receive offers from whoever has a suitable property available first.
To apply for Social Housing, please go to the Housing Pathways website at www.housingpathways.nsw.gov.au. You can apply for social housing online, or over the phone on 1800 422 322.
