Faith in action Homes for all
Helping organisations of all faiths
We envision a future where homelessness is eradicated, housing insecurity is a thing of the past, and communities flourish.
Faith Housing Australia is the peak body supporting the faith housing sector. Its members include community housing providers, concerned individuals and supporting organisations, united to achieve homes for all.
Our members believe in social justice, compassion, respect, and integrity. Our member organisations are some of Australia’s most respected and long-serving charities, providing specialist homelessness services, emergency relief and long-term social and affordable rental housing in communities across Australia.
Faith Housing Australia is committed to partnering with governments to rapidly increase housing supply and deliver vital wrap-around supports needed to help end homelessness for good and to give hope.
Affordable rental housing is critical to reducing intergenerational poverty and increasing economic mobility. Research shows that increasing access to affordable housing is the most effective strategy for reducing childhood poverty and increasing economic mobility.
Housing is one of the most basic needs, and yet for many Australians it is increasingly at risk. The costs associated with the provision of housing are among the largest ongoing expenses that will incur for an individual or for families over their lifetime.
Housing is a human right.
Faith Housing Australia is committed to building a more just society where people can thrive through access to affordable accommodation. We work to increase the supply of safe, health and affordable housing for all in partnership with our member community.

From its earliest days, Faith Housing Australia has sought to shine a light on the injustice that many experience in relation to housing. Faith Housing Australia has been characterised by committed people who refuse to give up until change occurs. Since the mid-1990s, we have had many champions of change in the alliance who never gave up on the work, influencing outcomes and legislation as transformative advocates.
Today, across our membership are transformative leaders heading up major organisations from across the faiths who fight every day alongside their teams to protect the vulnerable in our community.
Like our early heroes, we continue to work with the faith sector towards the compassionate relief of poverty, distress or disadvantage suffered by individuals or families in New South Wales.
