Ganalili Transitional Housing Program

The Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation has constructed nine transitional housing units and a commercial training facility to enable apprentices and low-income employees’ access to suitable, stable, affordable accommodation; and offer a pathway to transition to private rental or home ownership.

The Ganalili Transitional Housing Program (GTHP) is a housing and support program for Aboriginal people living in the Roebourne, Wickham or Karratha area. Participants in the program will have affordable rent and access to support services to help gain independent living skills to improve employment, training, financial capacity and health and well-being. Participants will be required to attend workshops and engage with support services recommended by the GTHP.
