| Vision
Aboriginal Housing Victoria will develop and manage the provision of housing assistance to the Aboriginal Community in a manner that delivers accessible, affordable, appropriate and secure housing that meets the social, cultural and economic aspirations of the Victorian Aboriginal Community
Values
Aboriginal Housing Victoria’s Board of Directors seek to ensure that they add value by guiding, assisting and supporting management of the Company to achieve the company’s goals. Aboriginal Housing Victoria is committed to the following values and principles:
Empowerment
AHV is committed to the belief that improved outcomes for tenants and their families will be achieved as they are empowered to act on their own behalf, and have access to adequate resources to do so.
Access, equity and participation
AHV operates in an open and responsive manner to ensure maximum possible access for members and tenants to information and decision-making within the organisation; and by referral to other service providers for assistance, information and practical support.
Representation
AHV represents its membership to work towards achieving a fair distribution of resources to services which are relevant and accessible to tenants and their families.
AHV collects, collates and represents the views of its membership in advocating on behalf of tenants and their families and in contributing on their behalf to policy development and resource allocation.
Collaboration and co-operation
AHV works together with stakeholders (including its membership, networks of community-based organisations, service providers and funding sources) to ensure best possible service delivery.
Information dissemination for empowerment
AHV collects, collates, interprets and distributes information about community housing and related matters to members and tenants. Such information may be gathered as a result of research, discussion or consultation, or through individual advocacy or support.
This information is treated as a valuable resource to be disseminated through a variety of media and in an easy-to understand format as a means of empowering members and tenants and their families.
Respect for people and their individual rights
AHV respects and promotes the individual rights of tenants, staff and all persons with whom we come into contact and will treat all in accordance with the Housing (Housing Agencies) Act 2004, National Community Housing Standards, the Homelessness Assistance Standards, Indigenous Governance Principles, and other legislation of the Commonwealth of Australia and the Parliament of Victoria.
AHV respects the privacy of clients and staff and will protect the confidentiality of personal information in accordance with the law. |
