Facing homelessness, housing stress or financial hardship? Jewish House can help you navigate the next steps
Temporary
Accommodation
What it is
Temporary Accommodation is short-term, emergency housing delivered in partnership with Homes NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice. It supports people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, low-income earners waiting on social or affordable housing, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people experiencing family or domestic violence. It provides a safe, welcoming place to stay while a longer-term housing solution is arranged. Stays typically start at a few days and extend as needed.
How it works:
- Contact Link2Home, NSW’s statewide homelessness service, on 1800 152 152.
- If eligible, Link2Home refers you to Jewish House.
- You can be placed in one of nine Jewish House properties across the Eastern Suburbs and Inner West, offering more than 200 beds for men, women and families.
What’s provided:
Our units are high quality, hygienic and secure — guests are proud to call them home while they get back on their feet. It’s more than a roof: our experienced caseworkers work alongside you throughout your stay, understanding your circumstances and connecting you with the support you need to move towards permanent housing.

No Interest Loans (NILs)
Unexpected expenses can place significant pressure on individuals and families. NILs provides interest-free loans of up to $2,000 for eligible people on low incomes. You only ever repay what you borrow – no interest, no fees and no extra charges.
How to apply for NILs with Jewish House:
Contact us
Reach out to our NILs team via reception at (02) 9386 0770 to begin the application process. We’ll provide you with all the necessary information and guidance.
Submit required documents
Once you’ve made contact, we’ll ask you to provide some documents to demonstrate your eligibility for a loan. Our team will explain exactly what you need to submit.
Attend a follow-up meeting
After compiling all the required documents, we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting with you. During this discussion, we’ll further assess your needs and discuss the details of your application. Meetings typically last between 30 minutes to one hour.
Loan assessment and approval
Following your interview, your loan application will be submitted for assessment. We aim to inform you of the outcome within two business days.
Please note: While NILs loans can provide crucial financial assistance, there are certain restrictions on how the funds can be used.
They cannot be used for the following purposes: food, utility bills, cash advances, fines or penalties, debt repayment/consolidation, vehicle purchase, second-hand electrical goods or baby furniture, lay-by, airfares, clothing (except uniforms), or the bundling of many small goods.
