The South Australian government has committed 4 million dollars for the construction of a 40 unit housing development for indigenous elders.
The initiative is part of a new 10 year strategy to “hit the reset button” on the state’s provision of Aboriginal housing, providing accommodation in the suburb of Bedford Park in Southern Adelaide.
Joe Morrison, CEO of The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation tasked with construction says, the project is about providing culturally appropriate independent living solutions for First Nations people in South Australia.
Construction on the Elders Village is expected to begin in early 2022.
