The Summer Foundation’s Housing Hub Team works in a number of ways to support people with disability to reach their goals of living more independent lives. If you are a person with disability, family member or carer, our Housing Hub Team can support you to:

• Understand Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and if you are likely to be eligible for this funding

• Apply for a new home (where we are working with the landlord of the home)

• Understand your housing needs and preferences

Learn about SDA

This Housing Hub website has lots of great information to help you learn about SDA:

• This series of 7 short videos about SDA is a great way to get started
• This page explains the process for getting SDA funding in your NDIS plan
• Here are some Mythbusters about SDA

You can also call our NDIS Advice Line – 1300 61 64 63 – on Monday to Friday, from 10am to 3pm (Sydney and Melbourne time), or email us at housingoptions@housinghub.org.au

Our team can work with you

We have a national team of Home and Living Specialists who are housing experts in home and living supports with a key focus on quality housing outcomes for NDIS participants. Our specialists work collaboratively with the person and their existing team in a targeted and time limited capacity.

We also have a RAC Service Coordination service, which can support NDIS participants living in residential aged care (RAC) to become better informed of the funding and support that may: increase their ability to participate in the community; ensure that equipment and therapy are in place to support quality of life; and/or support the exploration of moving out of RAC and into the community.

You also might want to provide some information about your housing needs and preferences by creating a Housing Seeker Profile.

Our team is working with people with disability to create Housing Seeker Profiles and build a ‘big picture’ map of their housing needs and preferences.  This big picture map will help to connect people with disability to SDA providers. SDA providers often want to build new homes but they don’t know where to build, who to build for or what sort of home to build e.g. robust homes or fully accessible homes. Your Housing Seeker Profile will help them to understand.

We can support you to create your Housing Seeker Profile, which will help inform the SDA market about what should be built. If you’d like to know more about them, please contact us.
