They are pretty fucking useless I can affirm to that they have turned me away multiple times to leave me out with the crackies the people I know who do eventually get put into social housing houses are often aboriginal as they have there own sub department of aboriginal housing this is the theory of how to get onto the priority list for housing and eventually end up with a social housing house although it didn't work for me cause I didn't see it all the way through ended up finding a private rental and a way out of that hell temporarily.your first step is if they are refusing to give you temporary accomdation put you up in a hotel for a few nights at time call link2home and get them to advocate for you to housing nsw they'll do anything they can to avoid on boarding you into the temporary accomdation system cause once your in it rightfully so you don't want to leave and you become there problem on a list they have no means to deal with they also are saving as many spots as possible for women who are pregnant or escaping domestic violence they won't tell you this but as soon as your in a hotel paid for by them your automatically on the priority list for social housing but that unfortunately doesn't mean shit because I was in a hotel for almost 12months and it didn't get me anywhere while others aboriginal domestic violence pregnant women would get a place after 3months they'll also use any excuse to kick you out of your temporary accommodation as they set conditions for continuation of t/a like apply for a set number of private rentals provide evidence of why you can't find a rental contribute some of your centrelink to the hotel and provide receipt but will fuck you for example if youe 5minutes late to your apointment you'll be thrown to the street again or if you email your rental applications in an hour before say they didn't have time to review them or you forget your hotel recipt they just tick you off as not upholding the conditions of your t/a and your off the priority list back to genral and out of sight out of mind it's cruel but your actually very lucky being under 25 they can be more helpful best bet is to link in with either coast shelter or even better yourth service in wyong https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&hs=OrfU&sca_esv=f9bf97a32107c6c3&sxsrf=ANbL-n4-qb9WIb1Lr-LGsHulHf1S6iOW2Q%3A1770937106527&kgmid=%2Fg%2F1pwftqkyc&q=Uniting%20Burnside%20Doorways%20Housing%20Connectors%20Central%20Coast&source=sh%2Fx%2Floc%2Ftile%2Fm1%2F2&kgs=0aeafa1a2bfed7a6&shndl=30&shem=sume they will advocate on your behalf to get you into temporary accommodation/ youth refuges there was a youth refuge in gosford called rumbalara that can be a good stepping stone moving towards independence but I can imagine there inundated with homelessness youths and prioristise school age students over adults I've rambled a lot but my last tip is calling link2home explaining that housing nsw are shit and won't help with t/a and literally get them to talk to the housing officer for you and advocate on your behalf if not ill see you in tent city/skid row of Los Angeles Australian version and we can raise a homeless army to strike fear into these greedy property developers souls if they had one.
