more than 4100 households are in housing stress
more than 2100 households need affordable housing
700 people were recorded as homeless or marginally housed.
Recent informationindicates this situation is only getting worse.
New Strategy
Council has been carrying out actions from the current Strategy over the past five years, butthe current Strategy has reached its recommended review timeframe.
Grant funding was provided from the NSW Government’s Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund to prepare a new Affordable Housing Strategy.
