Aboriginal Housing Victoria and Darebin City Council - Memorandum of Understanding

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) serves as an agreement between Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) and the Darebin City Council (Council) to formalise a working relationship to achieve mutual objectives to support mutual goals regarding the availability of social housing in Darebin and to support the housing and wellbeing needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Darebin community.

The three priority focus areas as set up under the Memorandum of Understanding partnership agreement are:

  1. Work in partnership to increase Aboriginal Housing Victoria renter’s wellbeing, community participation and inclusion in
    Council’s services and programs
  2. Explore options to provide AHV with exemptions or rebates for rates
  3. Explore ways to increase the availability of housing stock in Darebin for the Aboriginal community
