We want to build a future where Aboriginal people, families and communities have safe, affordable, and culturally strong housing. To do this we need to hear from the people who live in, work in, and care about Aboriginal housing.
Your voice will help shape the AHO’s next 10-year strategy, including the priorities we work towards, the programs we fund and the decisions we make.
This is your housing system. Your voice is needed to shape its future.
Who we want to hear from
We want to hear from anyone with experience of Aboriginal housing in NSW, including people who:
- are Aboriginal tenants, community members, Elders or young people
- live in Aboriginal, public, community or affordable housing
- are waiting for housing
- have used homelessness, temporary, or crisis accommodation
- receive rental support or help to stay housed
- work in housing organisations, service providers, or peak bodies
- are part of Local Aboriginal Land Councils or community groups.
What we’d like you to think about
Questions that might help get you started:
- How can we make housing better for Aboriginal people and communities?
- What do you want to see for Aboriginal housing over the next 10 years?
- How can we make it easier to access Aboriginal housing or supports?
- What would help you or your family feel safe, stable and supported at home?
- How do we make sure we are building the right homes, in the right places, for the right needs?
There are no right or wrong answers —you can share as much or as little as you like.
