Help us help you
Everyone has the right to decide where they live, who they live with, and how they live.
We know that complex processes and the current lack of housing options for people with disability can make things difficult, and that navigating the housing market can be daunting.
The Support Portal makes everything about your clients’ housing search easier. Through the portal, you can create a housing seeker profile for each of the participants you support.
Refine your client’s housing search with a housing seeker profile
You can support your clients to express what they want in their living situation by working with them through guided questions about their housing needs and preferences.
The Housing Hub will then show housing options that are a good match for your client’s housing seeker profile. You can choose to get email notifications when new homes are listed that match their profile.
You can also download a copy of your client’s answers and use this for any offline housing search they are doing.
Streamline your search
The Housing Hub lists homes across all states and territories that cater to a range of disability requirements and long, medium, and short-term accommodation.
Using the Supporter Portal to streamline your clients’ search for housing means that you have more time to help your participants reach their goals.
Resources
It’s essential that people with disability understand their options and think about their ideal situation first - not just look at what’s available. We have a range of resources to help explain the options that are possible. We want to create a new housing landscape. You can find them here on the Housing Hub.
