Abstract

This session will examine and discuss issues surrounding the provision of community housing for Aboriginal people in urban areas. Addressing housing needs is fundamental to 'Closing the Gap', yet it is largely invisible in the debate. What are the urban housing needs, now and in the projected future? What are the differences in housing needs between urban and remote areas, and are these reflected in government policy? What is the disparity between need and provision, and why? What is the current policy direction and how is it informed? What are the policy frameworks that control Aboriginal housing and are they working? What is the relationship between housing, health, education and employment?
