Eligibility for social housing

Social housing is short and long-term, secure, affordable rental housing for people on low incomes with housing needs. It includes public, community and Aboriginal housing.

Public housing is managed by the Department of Communities and Justice, while community housing is managed by non-government organisations and not-for-profit agencies.
