The Turnbull government on Tuesday confirmed its promise earlier this year to match the NT's commitment for remote indigenous housing over five years from 2018/19.
The money will be given to the NT government for property and tenancy management and to address severe overcrowding in remote communities.
The territory will also get $280 million for upgrades to two major outback highways - Central Arnhem Road and the Buntine Highway - plus a share of $160 million to seal more sections of the Outback Way.
It will also get access to money through a $1.5 billion fund for Northern Australian roads and, as announced in April, a $259 million GST top-up payment.
