Support to guide, prompt, or perform efforts to ensure the participant obtains/retains appropriate housing is defined by the NDIS as Assistance with Accommodation and Tenancy Obligations. Assisting with the application for a rental tenancy or fulfilling tenancy requirements is one example.
Support is offered to assist the client in obtaining/maintaining adequate housing by guiding, prompting, or carrying out activities. The level of assistance supplied is determined by the individual’s skills and abilities. Staff with skills and expertise in housing and tenancy support give and/or supervise help. Assistance with applying for a rental tenancy and fulfilling tenancy requirements is one example.
Reachability can give one-on-one support to help participants achieve their specific Accommodation and Tenancy goals, such as overcoming hurdles to a current tenancy or assisting participants in exploring and obtaining alternative homes.
Assessment, specific case planning, practical one-on-one assistance, interaction with service providers, and capacity-building assistance are all part of our Accommodation and Tenancy service, which helps people accomplish their individual goals.
