Express InterestSocial Housing
Social housing is government subsidised rental housing available to people on very low incomes. It is allocated to people on the NSW housing waitlist on a priority needs basis. Currently Hunter Community Housing does not offer social housing but is looking to build this portfolio in the future. In the meantime, we can provide information and help connect you with other services that may assist.

Our housing development
In 2014 the Catholic Diocese of Maitland Newcastle built and opened supported accommodation and affordable housing in Mayfield, Booragul and Mount Hutton under the National Rental Affordability Scheme.
The affordable housing was opened by the late Bishop Bill Wright who said, “In keeping with Catholic teaching and long-established practice, our diocese strives to assist and support people in the community who have special needs or vulnerabilities as we contribute to building a harmonious and inclusive society.”
Hunter Community Housing works with our partner Horizon to oversee these tenancies.
We look forward to continuing to invest in social and affordable housing throughout the Hunter region.
