Housing Service's key objective is to deliver safe, secure and affordable housing to all Territorians.

The need for shelter is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and the broader community. Housing underpins economic growth and sustainable development. It is an important channel for population growth and stability. Housing plays a vital role in building and maintaining strong communities across the Northern Territory, including those in regional and remote areas.

Services include:

• public rental housing,
• private rental housing assistance,
• priority housing,
• home ownership assistance,
• government employee housing,
• community housing, and
• Remote Housing

The Northern Territory Government believes that safe, secure and affordable housing is a cornerstone of our society and that it is directly linked to the community's health and wellbeing, economic growth and sustainable development.
