Housing and the State Election

The NSW State Election on 26 March will set the direction for the State over the next four years.  The Federation is calling on all parties and candidates to commit to implement 6 priorities that will be essential to address the lack of affordable housing in NSW and to meet the housing needs of low and moderate income households.
The Federation has written to all political parties outlining what we believe needs to be done to improve affordable housing and to strengthen the community housing sector.
