Eligibility for Social Housing Assistance Policy

This policy provides a guide to the eligibility rules for social housing managed by Birribee Housing.

• Support delivery of affordable, secure and sustainable housing for Aboriginal people who are eligible for
social housing products offered by Birribee.
• Support fair, transparent and consistent decision-making
• Ensure Birribee Housing’s approach is consistent with the Homes NSW Eligibility for social housing policy and
the requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010
• Ensure that Birribee Housing’s eligibility policy is sufficiently flexible to reflect the housing types and programs
managed by the company.
• Provide an operating environment for Birribee staff that prioritises supporting tenants through the journey of
securing housing.
