Indigenous Community Housing Organisation Reform Sample Clauses

Indigenous Community Housing Organisation Reform. ‌ This initiative is a COAG Reform Payment that required the transfer of responsibility for ICHOs in urban and regional areas to state governments. ICHOs have historically been a significant source of social housing for Indigenous people in non-remote areas across Australia, with substantial investment from government over a long period. They have sat outside mainstream community housing systems, and have not been subject to key reforms that have occurred in that sector. ICHOs have operated largely unaccredited and unregistered. Performance has been inconsistent. This has often resulted in inconsistency and a lack of transparency in relation to housing allocation, wait list policy, rent collection, tenant support and protection, management and maintenance of stock more generally. The NPARIH provided funding to state governments to reform ICHOs and ensure ICHO owned housing is managed to the same standards as the state’s community housing system, including improved property and tenancy management, repairs and maintenance and rent collection. More than $400 million has been provided to state governments under the NPARIH and related arrangements in Queensland. This is for administrative costs incurred in transitioning ICHOs into their state frameworks and for repairs and refurbishments necessary to bring ICHO stock up to a public housing-like standard. The aim is to ensure ICHO stock continues to be available to support Indigenous housing need. Most of the stock is located in regional and urban areas in Queensland and New South Wales and, on a smaller scale, in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. The NPARIH ICHO reforms, focussing on urban and regional areas, do not impact on the Northern Territory and Tasmania. The Commonwealth retains rights and interests over some ICHO stock, as a result of historical investment in the properties. This is seen by some jurisdictions as slowing the progress of reform. The jurisdictions involved are implementing the reforms under different models, dependent on that state’s existing system and the willingness and capacity of the ICHOs to undertake the necessary reform. Progress in most jurisdictions has been relatively slow until recently, and achieving systemic and sustainable reform continues to be challenging. However, considerable progress is now being made in a number of jurisdictions. This is summarised below. New South Wales NSW has 206 ICHOs (112 are Local Aboriginal Land Councils) managing around 4400 pro...
