People in need of safe, secure and affordable housing in Tennant Creek will benefit from the construction of 12 new homes thanks to a partnership between:
- NT Government
- Commonwealth Government
- Housing Australia and
- Venture Housing Company.
The housing, which will be a mix of social and affordable homes, will be delivered across 3 adjoining sites.
The homes will be available for:
- older women at risk of homelessness
- women and children fleeing domestic and family violence and
- Aboriginal people who are eligible for social or affordable housing.
Community Housing Provider Venture Housing is developing the 12 two-bedroom homes, as well as contributing land and funding towards the project development costs.
This is supported by a joint grant from the NT Government and Housing Australia.
The transition of delivery and management of social and affordable housing to Community Housing Providers was announced as part of the Northern Territory Community Housing Growth Strategy 2022–32.
The homes are expected to be completed by February 2025.
