The NT Government has reached 90% completion of housing works in Elliott, with 13 new and refurbished homes in the community.
It was a busy week for many families moving back to their homes in Elliott town camps, with 8 homes delivered and 2 refurbished homes handed back to the families this week.
Three more homes will be ready for families in the coming weeks.
In Elliott, a total of 39 houses have been refurbished since 2016, with 6 homes left to be upgraded.
Across Elliott town camps the population is about 250 living across 53 homes.
Aboriginal Enterprises Australia has been delivering repairs in Elliott North and South town camps, with 8 Aboriginal workers, including 3 locals, completing the works.
The reform means that the Elliott town camp residents will transition to public housing once upgrades are complete to a Residential Tenancy Act standard, with a longer-term commitment to transition the arrangement to an Aboriginal controlled registered community housing provider.
