Strong Family, Strong Communities

Our strategy

acknowledge

Strong Family, Strong Communities is the AHO's 10-year strategy to improve the well-being of NSW Aboriginal families and communities through housing.

The strategy includes both our core business and key programs. It is underpinned by four interconnected pillars:

  • Housing Solutions - Delivering housing solutions with Aboriginal families based on demand for social and affordable housing.
  • Client Outcomes - Achieving better outcomes with Aboriginal tenants and clients through partnerships with Aboriginal organisations, human services agencies, and by creating study, work and business opportunities.
  • Growing the Sector - Strengthening and growing Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHP) through sector investment, regulation and the transfer of housing and property management.
  • Data and Evidence - Improving data collection, evaluation and analysis to plan and invest in the future.

Phase One of the strategy finished on 30 June 2022 - read the key achievements from the first phase

Phase Two builds on our Phase One successes with specific commitments outlined in each of pillar pages on the side. 

During Phase One we focused on what and when we delivering. Phase Two will also highlight our efforts to improve how we work with Aboriginal people and other stakeholders. We will focus specifically on how we are:

  • keeping Aboriginal culture at the center of everything we do
  • tracking on accountability and governance
  • demonstrating change.
