The AHO has recently completed the construction of another large home funded through the Closing the Gap program. The home features five bedrooms, 2 and half bathrooms, large living areas, modern kitchen, solar and air-conditioning. The Western Sydney home will be managed by Tharawal Housing Aboriginal Corporation and will soon be tenanted to an Aboriginal family.

Property titles for approximately 3,325 homes, tenanted by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will be transferred to the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) from the Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC), starting on 25 May 2023. 

All eligible homes within the program will be transferred to the AHO by August 2024 across multiple tranches.   

Tenancy management will remain with the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).

In September the AHO handed over a newly constructed property in Whalan in Western Sydney. This large property features a four-bedroom home with two and half bathrooms; plus a two-bedroom granny flat with its own bathroom. Both have solar and air-conditioning. There are landscaped gardens, large comfortable living areas, a double lock-up garage and a carport. The property will be managed by Birribee Housing.

The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) is releasing the new Aboriginal Community Housing Rent Policy (ACHRP).
