Housing for Aboriginal peoples
A new framework for self-determined Aboriginal housing is needed
The importance of place has always been a source of strength for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, however all the statistics show that Aboriginal people are marginalised by housing markets.
While unsuitable housing and challenging environments cause poor health, educational, employment and training outcomes, the reverse is true: high-quality living environments can be a powerful way to improve Aboriginal peoples’ health and wellbeing. With this in mind, and acknowledging the work done to date, it is time for a principal-based Aboriginal Housing Framework.
