Affordable housing
If you don't meet the requirements for social housing, but still face barriers to finding a home, you could be eligible for affordable housing.
Affordable housing programs provide a high quality and secure place to live at below market rent. This will support you to meet other basic living costs, including food, clothing, transport, energy, medical care and education.
