The 2022 AHO Tenant Satisfaction, Experience and Wellbeing Survey

Share this

We know that improving housing is important to both tenants and Aboriginal Community Housing Providers as well as the AHO.

It has been four years since the AHO conducted a state-wide tenant survey and it is important to have an up-to-date perspective on tenant satisfaction, experience and well-being. Also, the latest survey will provide evidence to inform the Strong Family, Strong Communities (SFSC) 10 year Aboriginal Housing Strategy (2018-28) and ongoing government funding.
