A wonderful handover this week of 11 new homes in North Parramatta for the Women’s Housing Company from the NSW Land and Housing Corporation, built by BlueSox Developments.

The Women’s Housing Company is pleased to launch the Education Scholarship Program, designed to help tenants and their children to achieve their goals through education and training.
