1. In 2004/05, the NT Government allocated $24.39m to Indigenous housing consisting of $19.69m in Commonwealth State Housing Agreement allocations to the NT, and $4.7m in Territory appropriations.

2. The NT contributes 58% of the IHANT budget. In addition, since in excess of 25% of public housing tenants are Indigenous citizens, over one quarter of the Community Service Obligation contributions to Territory Housing contribute to addressing Indigenous Housing needs.
