## What you need to check

Social housing is rental housing run by Homes Tasmania and community housing groups. You must live in Tasmania and be 16 or older. You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Your income must be low enough for a Health Care Card. You cannot own a home or land. Everyone in the household together must have $35,000 or less in money, shares and property (not cars or household items). Housing Connect assesses your needs.

This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.
