The Department of Housing and Works advises:
The Department of Housing and Works operates the In Home Practical Support Program which is a contemporary version of the "Homemaker Program". The program aims to improve the sustainability and longevity of Indigenous housing by developing the home living skills of Aboriginal people participating in the program. The IHPSP connects with other programs and services to deliver a joined up approach in addressing environmental health, community development and social issues.
The program focuses on developing families and individuals skills in order to manage and maintain a healthy living environment, covering areas such as clean and healthy living practices, family budgeting and knowledge of tenancy obligations to maintain a healthy home.
The program has been expanded in 2007/2008 to nine Aboriginal Organisations throughout the state located in Kununurra, Fitzroy Crossing, Derby, Broome, Bidyadanga, Port Hedland, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and the Ngaanyatjarra Lands.
