What does it meant that AHV will manage tenancies in a more culturally appropriate way?
AHV was set up 25 years ago to advocate for Aboriginal tenants facing rent arrears and problems with their housing service. Over the years, AHV has worked to ensure that tenants are treated fairly, and provided with a number of opportunities for support to ensure they stay in their home. An example of this is the fact that AHV does not currently allow OoH to take legal action against tenants without first meeting with the tenant and discussing payment options. Personal contact is key to the work of AHV. AHV believes this is the way it will ensure a better service. AHV believes that this change will mean more consultation with and inclusion of the Aboriginal community in issues that impact on their lives.
