Who we are

Homes NSW leads the NSW Government’s work to deliver quality social and affordable housing and address homelessness.

We are responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of public housing across the state, and supporting the 260,000 people who call our properties home. Homes NSW also plays a key role in enabling better outcomes for affordable and key worker housing in NSW.

Through partnering with all levels of government, sector, and communities to confront the housing crisis, we aim to make sure NSW is a place where everyone has access to safe and secure housing.

We are part of the Department of Communities and Justice.
