From the AHURI inquiry: Inquiry into developing a long-term governance and resource framework for sustainable and effective Indigenous housing.

What this research is about

This is the second of three reports arising from a research Inquiry examining Australia’s Indigenous housing system. The report examines how the system is structured, operates and is funded, and explores housing tenure choices for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.’

Why this research is important

Current governance arrangements in the Indigenous housing system are complex and poorly coordinated. A comprehensive national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing strategy is required to align mechanisms and policies, promote greater accountability to First Nations people, and bolster self-determination in the sector. This research builds the evidence base to support the creation of a national strategy.
