In our election platform, NCOSS has called for sufficient state subsidies and in kind assistance such as land to ensure that NSW receives its fair share of subsidies under the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS). NCOSS was dismayed therefore when the Commonwealth Government announced that it was cutting future subsidies under NRAS as part of its response to funding rebuilding in flood (and now cyclone) affected areas.

The NCOSS media release is here.

NCOSS is supporting the Shelter campaign to have this decision reversed. Details about Shelter’s campaign are available from www.shelternsw.org.au.
