This is a very special year for the Women’s Housing Company as we mark our 40 Years of Service, providing housing and homelessness support services to women and their children. Established 4 decades ago to respond to the needs of single homeless women in inner Sydney, today we are the largest women’s housing organisation in Australia. Many have contributed to this success and we thank everyone who has been part of this journey.
