Housing Support

The Positive Life NSW Housing Support program offers support and advocacy to all people living with HIV across the NSW metropolitan and regional areas to access, achieve and maintain stable accommodation, including those at risk of homelessness.

If you are living with HIV, we can support you to:

  • Find crisis or temporary accommodation

  • Apply for a transfer to another property
  • Address any maintenance and/or tenancy issues
  • Lodge a complaint and/or attend a tribunal hearing
  • Provide appropriate referrals
