The Aboriginal Housing Office’s (AHO) Sector Capability Grants are now open. AHO invites all registered Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHP) under the National Regulatory System for Community Housing (NRSCH) and New South Wales Local Scheme (NSWLS) and providers who are scheduled or undertaking registration with the Registrar of Community Housing to apply.
The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) and Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) Housing have now provided an avenue for non-Housing Pathways providers to contact applicants on the NSW Housing Register.

For more information or to apply for access to the wait-list, you'll find what you need in the following documents.
The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) will be transferring the management of AHO owned properties from the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) and Community Housing Providers (CHPs) to Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) to increase community control and the sustainability of ACHPs.
