The Tenancy Support program supports people who are facing eviction from their home or experiencing homelessness. We can help you develop the skills you need to maintain your tenancy. This includes knowing your rights and responsibilities as a tenant.
We can help people in NT Housing and those who are leaving public housing to move into private rentals. We also help women and children escaping family violence and people with high-support needs.
