First Nations Housing Provider

Delivering culturally safe housing to our community for over 20 years.

With over 20 years of hands-on experience, helping First Nations people and their families find a secure tenancy, we’re a highly respected Community Housing Provider (CHP).

We're a First Nations-owned and managed housing company located in Boorloo/Perth. We are registered as a Tier 3 Housing Provider with the Western Australian Department of Communities. We are also registered with ACNC, the Aboriginal Business Directory WA and Supply Nation.

 

Our approach involves three interconnected areas – housing provision, property management and tenancy support.

A Cultural Approach to Tenancy and Housing

NMM was was established in 2000 by Karlkinany Regional Council (former ATSIC Regional Council). Since then, NMM has grown steadily in terms of assets, services, staff and clients.
In 2024 we became the first Aboriginal Controlled Community Housing Proviider in WA to achieve Tier 3 Housing Provider status.

We operate via a unique, evidence-based and Elder-endorsed cultural model of supportive housing through our Noongar Housing First Princples (Mia Keny).

NMM provides safe, suitable, sustainable and affordable rental accommodation exclusively for Indigenous people and their families living on Noongar boodja, while offering individualised cultural tenancy support to help our tenants manage their tenancies, and to thrive in their homes.

Through our Moorditj Mia program we also reach out to First Nations people who are experiencing homelessness and walk alongside them to create pathways to home on Noongar boodja.

We partner with First Nations and other people and organisations to advocate for our mob and ensure our community’s voices are heard at all levels of society, in government and in the private sector.

On average, we housed 400
people per night in FY2024-25.
