The apartments, to be delivered in partnership with Wollongong Emergency Housing Inc, are part of 68 extra homes delivered by the NSW Government as part of a $19.1 million investment into the Community Housing Innovation Fund (CHIF).
Minister for Families and Communities Natasha Maclaren-Jones said the projects are being delivered under the Community Housing Innovation Fund (CHIF), a partnership with the community housing sector to provide more social and affordable housing.
"We have committed to invest $52.5 million to provide 200 homes for victim-survivors and we are already delivering the first dwellings," Mrs Maclaren-Jones said.
Victim-survivors of domestic violence who need a new home are added to the NSW Housing Register. Community housing organisations then use the Register to offer long-term housing when a suitable property becomes available.
