The Minns Labor Government has released a 10-year plan to reform and rebuild the public, community and affordable housing system by delivering more homes, improving quality and maintenance, and creating a fairer system for tenants.
The Homes for NSW Strategy tackles long-standing issues like long waitlists, poor maintenance and insecure housing that have left too many people without support.
Developed in partnership with tenants, advocates, community housing providers, homelessness services, unions and frontline workers, the plan is shaped by the people who live and work in the system every day.
This Strategy complements the work already underway by the Minns Labor Government through the Building Homes for NSW program, which is:
•Delivering 8,400 new public homes, with at least half for women and children escaping domestic and family violence.
•Upgrading 30,000 existing homes to make them safer, modern and more energy efficient.
•Providing record funding for homelessness services.
•Bringing housing maintenance back in-house, restoring control and accountability.
These reforms are part of the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to build a better, fairer NSW that supports tenants instead of making their lives harder.
At the heart of this plan are the voices and experiences of people who have endured years of neglect under the former government.
In direct contrast, the Minns Government completed 1,700 new homes in the first year of the Building Homes for NSW program, the biggest increase in the state’s recent history.

“For too long NSW has been let down by a system that is outdated and unfair. People were left waiting, living in homes that were falling apart, treated as numbers instead of neighbours. That era is now over.
