The CDHP provides community managed accommodation options for people with disabilities who require support to live independently in the community. People in the most urgent housing need are given priority.
The Department of Housing leases properties to community organisations, for tenants who have appropriate support arrangements in place to help sustain independent living. In most cases this is support funded by the Department of Health or the Disability Services Commission. Organisations must apply firstly through the support funding departments in order to be considered.
- Organisations with clients who have support provided from other sources can apply directly to Department of Housing.
- All clients must meet income eligibility criteria for public housing.
- Where Department of Housing does not have appropriately located or designed properties in its existing rental stock for leasing, then consideration is given to purchase or construction.
