This research examines the causes, cultural contextual meanings and safe responses to homelessness for Indigenous Australians in urban settings, using Australian policy, practice, and academic literature, together with interviews with stakeholders in four case-study sites.

This research examined the characteristics of successful tenancies for Indigenous people to understand ‘what works’ for securing successful housing outcomes. It explored the successful initiatives in sustaining tenancies for Indigenous people and what particular elements contribute to this success, including for different types of housing—private and social housing, and across different locations—urban, rural and remote.

This research explores what is required for sustainable Indigenous housing in regional and remote Australia to deliver positive health and wellbeing outcomes for householders, so that housing stock is maintained at high levels over time and is designed with climate change challenges in mind. 

This research focuses on the housing needs of Indigenous women and children who are severely over-represented in rates of both homelessness and domestic and family violence (DFV).

The purpose of this Issues Paper is to support the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) in developing a new 10-year strategic plan and in outlining a vision for the Aboriginal Community Housing Sector (ACHS). The central research question is: How can housing in NSW provide the best opportunity for Aboriginal people?
