More than a Roof Overhead: Meeting the Need for a Sustainable Housing System in Remote Indigenous Communities

许多澳大利亚土著居民居住在不合标准和过度拥挤的住房中，因此健康、教育、家庭稳定和儿童安全状况都很差。这种情况没有得到改善，主要是由于供资水平和建设和管理方法与问题的规模不相称。这种情况正在改变，正在制定新的资金和政策。研究人员将与西澳大利亚州和北领地的住房供应商和选定的土著社区合作，制定采购、建设和住房管理实践，以满足对更经济、合适和可持续住房的迫切需求。

Many Indigenous Australians live in substandard and over-crowded accommodation, and experience poor health, education, family stability and child-safety outcomes as a result. The lack of improvement in this situation is largely due to levels of funding and approaches to construction and management inadequate to the scale of the problem. This situation is changing and new funding and policies are being established. The researchers will work alongside housing providers and selected Indigenous communities in Western Australia and Northern Territory to develop procurement, construction and housing management practices that will meet the critical need for more affordable, appropriate and sustainable housing.
