Introduction

Housing ACT provides funding under the Tenant Participation Grants (TPG) program (previously known as Tenant Initiated Grants). The TPGs are available to public and community housing tenants who have an idea for a community participation project.

Tenant Participation Grants

TPG applications should focus on projects, activities and courses that promote community participation with an emphasis on:

  • Social inclusion (eg: involvement in a group or team based activity)
  • Education and training (eg: participation in a learning activity such as a CIT course or a community education program)
  • Employment (this is closely tied to education and training, but could also encompass support for small-scale business ventures).

Applicants may select to apply for a grant from the following individual or group streams:
