Background and Policy Context. The NPARIH (Appendix 1) is a comprehensive COAG reform strategy that aims to address overcrowding, homelessness, poor housing condition and severe housing shortage in remote Indigenous communities within 10 years to June 2018. It is a National Partnership, and a critical part of two major COAG agreements: • The National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA) which commenced in 2009 with the objective of ensuring all Australians have access to affordable, safe and sustainable housing that contributes to social and economic participation. • The National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA), agreed by all governments in 2008, which sets out the COAG framework for Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage over the long term.
