NSW Aboriginal community housing sector reaches 50 registered Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) under NRSCH and NSWLS
The NSW Aboriginal community housing sector has achieved a major milestone – with 50 Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) now registered under the National Regulatory System for Community Housing (NRSCH) and New South Wales Local Scheme (NSWLS). This is the highest number of registered ACHPs nationally.
The AHO has again partnered with Corrective Services Industries to deliver two three-bedroom homes in Narrabri, each with two bathrooms, carport, large backyards, solar and air conditioning. The homes were handed over to Wahgunyah Aboriginal Housing Corporation and were tenanted to Aboriginal families.
The AHO held their Board meeting on Worimi Country at Murrook Cultural Centre in October. An action packed agenda saw us keep culture at the centre, meeting with Regional Aboriginal Community Housing Committees and AHO staff for reporting and engagement to inform our work.
The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) is delighted to announce the appointment of Famey Williams, a proud Githabul woman (Mother’s country); with connections to Gomeroi country (Father’s country), to the role of Chief Executive.
Famey has more than 18 years’ experience working with Aboriginal communities across NSW in senior government and non-for-profit organisations. Her roles at the AHO include Acting Chief Executive and Deputy Secretary, Director of Housing and Client Services and numerous other roles.
Last week the AHO handed over this property in Whalan to Birribee Housing. This video showcases some of the excellent features of this unique home, which will be tenanted to an Aboriginal Family. Luke from Birribee Housing talks about what it was like to work with the AHO.
Check out the Community Kitchen Garden that was delivered and led by Ngalawi Housing Co-operative in Petersham and supported by the AHO.
