Accordwest and GKB Formalise Partnership with MOU

Accordwest and Gnaala Karla Booja Aboriginal Corporation (GKB) have strengthened their shared commitment to improving housing, social and economic outcomes for Aboriginal people across the South West through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration, shared learning and community-led approaches to addressing housing and wellbeing challenges in the region.

Under the partnership, Accordwest and GKB will work together to identify and explore opportunities that improve housing outcomes for local Aboriginal people, including culturally appropriate housing initiatives and community-focused projects.

"We know there are Noongar people across the South West experiencing homelessness and by working with Accordwest we can help shape more informed, culturally appropriate responses.

"Everyone deserves access to safe housing. We welcome initiatives that recognise the unique needs of our people and provide pathways for those who may not be well supported through existing housing services. This partnership is an important step towards creating solutions that are designed with our community, for our community." GKB Chair, John Penny
