Targeted Support Coordination

Our Support Coordination service is focused on quality housing outcomes.

We can support you to:

• Understand your housing options
• Explore home and Living supports under the NDIS
• Develop, gather, and submit evidence regarding funding for supports such as SDA, ILO and SIL
• Support you to search for and identify housing and connect to housing providers
• Work with yourself and your supports to work through the housing journey.

The Housing Hub is an initiative of the Summer Foundation, which has been invested in great housing outcomes for people with disability since it was founded in 2006.

Our Support Coordination team has partnered with Verbinding Support Coordination to deliver you a service that focuses on your housing journey. The collaboration is delivered under Verbinding’s registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

We put you first. We know that quality housing outcomes are achieved when your needs and preferences are front and centre.

We are experts. The Housing Hub is invested in quality housing for people with disability. Our team has worked to become subject matter experts and we have led many initiatives to educate the disability community and housing providers about quality housing for people with disability.
