Aboriginal Housing Victoria

Our vision is that Aboriginal Victorians are able to secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities.

We invite you to listen, learn and share.

Shared Truths brings together people's short submissions to Yoorrook, describing experiences of land, health, education and everyday life.

Collectively they build a picture of First Peoples strength and resistance, and the impacts of systemic injustice in Victoria from the start of colonisation, right through to today.

We invite you to learn from Shared Truths to understand our shared history, and work towards our shared future together and share the links and resources in our new Advocacy Hub: https://t.co/hFSZFs5FEV

32 years ago today, The Mabo case was decided.

While First Peoples have always known terra nullius was a myth, Mabo was the one that got the Government to reluctantly recognise that.

Mabo is a giant of the land rights movement, he is one of the many whose shoulders we stand.

[National Indigenous Times @nit_times]

The peak body for Aboriginal housing in Victoria has welcomed $15 million invested to combat homelessness in this week's budget, but argue more funding is urgently needed to prevent the spiralling rates of Aboriginal homelessness and housing insecurity. https://t.co/2qiOSmLBpi

"Culture is the fire that burns within all of us. It is essential to us when we talk about our people, identity, and spirituality."

[Council to Homeless Persons @CHPVic]

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Victorians are unacceptably overrepresented in homelessness statistics. It's well agreed that self-determination is the key to ending this devastating harm. Now it's time to make it happen.

We welcomed Minister Shing @ShingvWorld & @KatTheoMP to Lady Gladys Nicholls Hostel, to view recent upgrades completed as part of the Aboriginal Rapid Housing Response Program. Facilities like these are instrumental in empowering youth with the stability & resources to succeed.

Advocates urge more funding for urban and regional Aboriginal housing https://t.co/jdCt1GBU3H

[Home in Place @homeinplace]

Indigenous groups have welcomed funding for remote housing but have called on the Federal government to recognise the housing needs of Aboriginal people in regional and urban areas as well.
