The limited edition NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) Master Key Series proudly presents interviews and insights with thought leaders, in order to educate, inform and inspire.

In NSW, the high demand for social, crisis, transitional and affordable housing, continues to outstrip supply. LAHC is innovating housing to deliver more keys in doors.  

Delivering housing is much more than providing people with a roof over their heads. Having access to safe housing assists people to pursue health, education and employment opportunities, allowing them to thrive and strengthen the communities where we all live.

Join us as we present stories from our knowledge keepers, subject matter experts and innovators, as we work to deliver generational change, maintain our $50 billion social housing portfolio – the largest in Australia – and deliver more keys in doors, for people in need.
