Policy priorities
Our policy priorities reflect the needs of our members to ensure the industry’s growth. They are the policy changes that Federal, State, and Local governments need to make today, to ensure the viability of community housing in NSW tomorrow.

Industry development
CHIA NSW aims to provide services that help develop community housing in NSW. Through the provision of specialised data and survey services we inform our members of key industry trends. We also provide critical resources to drive new practices, standards and capacities across our industry.
Aboriginal resources
CHIA NSW is committed to listening and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We work directly in consultation with community housing providers, including those who specialise in Aboriginal housing, to ensure better outcomes for Aboriginal tenants in community housing across NSW.
Our industry is strong
Community housing across NSW has been a continual investor in new housing, jobs and opportunities. CHIA NSW’s most recent survey of the NSW community housing industry demonstrates the value that community housing providers have brought to 116 local council areas.
In 2012 community housing providers developed 68 dwellings, by 2022 this number had reached 5,300 new homes. This investment was supported purely through community housing provider finance. Want to find out more?
