At Community Housing Central Australia (CHCA) and Centrecorp Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering tenants and supporting them through their housing journey.
One such success story is that of “Sarah”, a single mother who moved into CHCA’s housing program with her two young children after facing periods of housing instability.
Upon moving in, Sarah was welcomed by our team, who worked closely with her to create a plan for sustainable housing. She was provided with referrals access to support services, including budgeting advice, tenancy education, and childcare resources. Over time, Sarah gained confidence in managing her finances and securing part-time work, which improved her family's financial stability.
With consistent housing support managed by CHCA and provided by Centrecorp Foundation, Sarah was able to transition into a more secure long-term rental. Today, she continues to thrive in her role at work while ensuring her children are excelling in school. Sarah's journey is a example of the impact of safe, stable housing and the strength of community support.
At CHCA and Centrecorp Foundation, we celebrate these victories, as each success story helps build a stronger, more resilient community.

Centrecorp Foundation makes a beneficial and ongoing difference to the lives of Aboriginal people in Central Australia in many different ways.

One of those ways has been to inform Aboriginal boarding students about the Indigenous Skills and Employment Program (ISEP), which the National Apprentice & Employment Network (NAEN) is running in Alice Springs in partnership with GTNT.

The program has two main goals;
- Supporting businesses to build their capacity to employ and retain Indigenous young people.
- Helping young people gain meaningful employment opportunities.

Connecting your child with opportunities such as:
- Industry exposure tours – meeting potential employers and exploring career paths.
- Leadership development workshops – building confidence and skills for the workplace.
- Work preparation programs – helping young people secure casual jobs while in school and transition into full-time employment after graduation.

Irrkerlantye/White Gate residents celebrate two years of having power thanks to Centrecorp Foundation providing $320,000 in June 2023 for a solar power plant to provide community lighting, PV power, storage batteries along with a diesel generator backup.

The system delivers power to each residence using the equivalent approach to a powered caravan/camp site.
