DCJ has developed an annual NSW Social Housing Assistance Commissioning Data Report that radically improves the granularity, quality and accessibility of information available for service delivery planning.

The data report presents a NSW wide overview of social housing assistance, including applications for social housing, social housing tenancies and private market assistance. The privacy protected appendix is presented at allocation zone, district and cluster level. Key information being released for the first time includes information on existing social housing tenants needing to move, and a breakdown of demand in each area by bedroom and accessible housing need. Demographic data is available for all household members, rather than just the main tenant or applicant, and variables are presented by Aboriginality.

There are limitations with this data, as with all data. The appendix must be read in conjunction with the report in order to understand the data definitions, limitations and caveats.

Please contact commissioning.data@facs.nsw.gov.au for research requests, if you require further information or wish to provide feedback. For media enquiries contact media.unit@facs.nsw.gov.au
