The Australian Government will contribute $547 million over four years through the Northern Territory Government, and the Territory Government will provide a further $100 million. The program will deliver:

around 750 new houses including new subdivisions; over 230 new houses to replace houses to be demolished ; over 2 500 housing upgrades; essential infrastructure to support new houses; improvements to living conditions in town camps.

Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, said the housing program will substantially improve living conditions for around 80 per cent of Indigenous people living in the targeted remote and urban communities."
