The Women’s Housing Company offices will be closed from 12pm on Wednesday December 24th 2025 to 9am Monday January 5th 2026. Our out of hours service can be reached, for urgent repairs or tenancy/housing related issues, on 1300 556 057. Homelessness Support Services in South Western Sydney will remain open for referrals during this time.
The foundation for equality is safe, affordable and long-term housing. Older people are increasingly at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Having to navigate homelessness when we’re older is especially challenging. This is the time to act because over 110,000 women over the age of 45 are at risk of homelessness in NSW. There are solutions we can implement today and the NSW government can
(i) Establish a specialist housing service for older people
(ii) lower the age for priority housing (you have to be 80 years old to qualify for a place on the priority waiting list now) and
(iii) Increase the stock of social, accessible & affordable housing.
