Like many remote Aboriginal regions, the Katherine area community faces housing challenges stemming from wider social issues. This has resulted in overcrowding and a rate of homelessness that’s significantly higher than both the Northern Territory and national averages. That’s why Kalano Housing is working hard to meet the housing needs of our community. In addition to renovating and upgrading existing homes to meet today’s safety standards, we have a strategic plan in place to build more homes in the near future and are working closely with government agencies to secure funding.

Maintaining a good standard of living is vital to individual and community wellbeing. A stable, safe, and sustainable home provides a foundation for a happy, successful life and we believe every member of our community deserves that opportunity. Our team is responsible for a wide range of services, from property repairs and maintenance in to reducing costs with new solar power options. With 83 dwellings and 73 tenancy houses to manage across the four communities we serve, in addition to important community facilities such as our kids playgrounds and sporting football ovals, we’re always working hard to keep our communities thriving and meet the needs of our members.
