Noongar Mia Mia - Boola Moort Tenancy Support Program

Noongar Mia Mia is Perth's only Aboriginal-led Community Housing provider, housing exclusively Aboriginal tenants in Perth metro, the Wheatbelt and Esperance.

Tenancy support isn’t a new idea, but cultural tenancy support is different. A lot of mainstream Community housing providers do tenancy support, but they’re not made by us or for us. They take a one-size-fits-all approach to anyone and everyone they work with, many don’t really understand our culture, and what culture means to us as our Birthrights.

We think it’s important for Noongar people and (Aboriginal people on Noongar Boodja) to have access to Noongar tenancy support workers, working in Noongar ways. That’s why we’ve started the Boola Moort Tenancy Support Program, which is all about Dignity, Respect and Choices. And we also make sure our voices are heard with all tenants.
