"Champions of Change"

Shelter NSW (Shelter) has a long and intriguing history. In continuous existence since 1974, the organisation’s staff, volunteers and directors have been both witness to – and contributors to – the transformation of New South Wales’s housing system. While this book tells the story of Shelter as a peak body, recording their highs and lows, it is not just about a single organisation. Shelter’s extensive archives provide a lens through which to see what was happening, when and why across the NSW crisis, social and lower-rental housing sectors.
