About Us

Churches Housing

Churches Housing was established to assist churches and church welfare organisations to develop housing initiatives for individuals and families on low incomes in partnership with the State Government.

Our aim is to support church groups in their mission of compassion and justice as they seek to follow Christ’s example to care for those who are most disadvantaged.

Churches Housing is funded through the Community Housing Division of Housing NSW. We work to facilitate partnerships, accessing and bringing together churches resources and government funding to provide a range of housing and associated services.

Our role includes:

	Informing churches of the need for housing for people on low incomes with support needs and in particular, of community housing as a viable option
	Informing groups of partnerships and government funding opportunities for housing projects
	Helping groups through the various stages of developing a project including advice on project definition, needs analysis, and ongoing project management issues
	Assisting groups in preparing proposals for funding, liaising with relevant government departments and generally providing support through the submission process
	Providing education that helps churches develop a better understanding of housing need, community housing options and ‘best practice’ principles for running a community housing project
	Liaising with government about the abilities and significant input church groups have in providing housing and services to those in need
	Facilitation, communicating and negotiating with churches and relevant government departments to develop partnerships that benefit all parties especially people on low incomes with support needs
