Real Estate Realities 

The shocking housing crisis with a deceptively simple solution

Providing safe and secure housing through Indigenous-led services is a simple yet underappreciated solution to reduce not only high rates of Indigenous homelessness but also incarceration, experts say.

The disproportionate rate of Indigenous incarceration has been in focus amid the recent Black Lives Matter protests, but addressing the lack of housing would help reduce over-representation in jails and other institutions such as out-of-home care, researchers say.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people also made up 26% of specialist homelessness services clients in 2018-19 yet only 3.2% of the Australian population in the same year, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

Indigenous men make up 28.6% of all men in prison in Australia, and Indigenous women 36% of jailed women, despite making up a fraction of the total population, The Guardian reported.

Homelessness NSW Senior Aboriginal Project Officer Monique Wiseman said there are just four Aboriginal-led homelessness organisations despite making up almost one-third of clients, after 2014 reforms that reduced the number of Aboriginal-controlled organisations.
