Growing The Sector (Sector Investment)

Growth Provider EOI Process

The EOI process is aimed to identify suitable Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) who are looking to ‘grow’ their businesses and are ready to work in partnership with the AHO as Growth Providers. Round 1 & 2 of the EOI for Growth providers have now been finalised.

The EOI process allowed the AHO to learn more about the readiness of the sector to be involved in managing more properties.
