Aboriginal Homelessness: A Victorian Emergency

The contemporary housing experience of Aboriginal people cannot be decoupled from the historical experience of Aboriginal dispossession and dislocation. Deprived of our land, excluded from the fruits of the economy and our traditional authority, lore and customs undermined, Aboriginal people have been homeless in our own land for the past two centuries. While colonial values have receded and Aboriginal people have finally assumed full citizenship, our sustained economic exclusion has left a lasting legacy of housing poverty and deprivation.
