About us
We are a registered community housing provider and charity with a long history of delivering community housing in Sydney. We first began as SWISH, the South-West Inner Sydney Housing Cooperative, in 1984. Since then, we have joined with local community housing providers, officially becoming Bridge Housing in 2009. Today, we manage 3,600 properties across metropolitan Sydney, home to 5,300 people. Our purpose is to change lives through more homes and quality services. Working at the coalface of Sydney’s housing crisis, we know that a safe, secure, affordable home is the stable base that people need to do well. We take a long term view to running our business so that we can continue changing lives for generations to come and this means carefully considering the environmental and social impacts of our decisions.

As a community housing provider working at the coalface of Sydney’s housing crisis, we at Bridge Housing know that a safe, secure, affordable home is the basis for people to do well as part of our broader community. We are both a tenant and a landlord, with 3,600 tenancies under management, including 600 headleased through the private market. Our view is that tenancy legislation should prioritise and protect people’s human right to shelter, and we wholeheartedly welcome the removal of no grounds terminations and its replacement with the list of reasonable grounds outlined in the Bill. https://lnkd.in/gXh_dJNW #nogroundsevictions #bridgehousing #legislativereform

"Homelessness is another brutal experience for women and children already coping with the trauma of domestic and family violence. " our COO Simone Parsons explains. "45% of women seeking housing support report that they are fleeing DFV. Most women experiencing homelessness report a history of DFV, at some point in their past.” “Imagine building up the courage to walk out of your home with your children and having nowhere safe to live. Having to choose poverty and homelessness in exchange for safety. "The fear of "Where will we live?" prevents many women from leaving at all, or forces families to return to the danger at home. The lack of a clear pathway and resources to help secure a safe place to live, can be life threatening.” “We welcome the opportunity work with government and impact investors to answer their question “Where will we live?" through a mix of immediate, transitional and permanent accommodation that offers sensitive, tailored support services," says Simone Parsons, COO of Bridge Housing.

National Homelessness Week starts today. “A safe home is the first step to ending homelessness. But it can take more than ‘just’ a home, people also need wraparound support and services to sustain their tenancy." noted our COO Simone Parsons. "Critical points include the transition from being homeless to now having a safe place to go. We acknowledge the Government’s significant investment in housing and look forward to hearing more, about joined up responses to homelessness and housing as a first response." “The pandemic taught us that we can change the inevitability of homelessness .The ultimate goal is working towards long-term supply and society-wide solutions that address housing needs across the community.”
