About
The Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) Aboriginal Employee Housing Grants Program will provide ACCOs in the Pilbara and Kimberley with grant funding to build, refurbish, or buy homes to provide as affordable rentals to their Aboriginal employees.
The program supports the valuable work of ACCOs across the North-West by providing secure and stable housing for Aboriginal employees and their families and will enable those employees to improve their income and financial wellbeing as they are supported by their employer to achieve their career goals.
