Inquiry into social housing shortage
LGNSW is seeking input for a submission to a parliamentary inquiry looking at options to improve access to existing and alternate accommodation to address the social housing shortage.
The inquiry’s terms of reference include:
- options to better support "meanwhile use" (temporary supportive accommodation), and the current major planning barriers to "meanwhile use";
- options to improve access to existing accommodation to provide community housing;
- option for crisis, key-worker and other short term accommodation models;
- barriers to additional supply across NSW, including for smaller non-CHP housing providers;
- support for and accountability of registered community housing providers.
A lack of affordable housing is impacting communities right across NSW. LGNSW would welcome your council’s input for a sector-wide submission. For more information or to provide input, please email Damian Thomas, LGNSW Strategy Manager, by 30 July 2021.
Submissions directly to the inquiry are due by 13 August 2021.
