SDA, SIL, and the Realities of NDIS Housing: A Conversation Worth Tuning Into

Finding the right home under the NDIS is never just about bricks and mortar. For many participants, especially those with psychosocial or intellectual disabilities, securing appropriate housing and the necessary funding can feel like an impossible puzzle.

That’s precisely what’s unpacked in a recent podcast episode featuring Katalin from Hand in Hand Support Coordination, Kevin from Paramount Disability Homes, and host Debbie.

This thoughtful, real-world discussion dives into the funding complexities, housing challenges, and the collaboration required between Support Coordinators, SDA providers, SIL providers, and families to make suitable housing a reality.

What’s Covered in the Episode:

• The realities of securing SDA funding, particularly for participants with complex support needs
  
• How Support Coordinators play a key role in navigating funding limitations and creative housing solutions
  
• The challenges SDA providers face in filling purpose-built homes and how this impacts SIL providers and participants
  
• The importance of trust, communication, and strategic partnerships between stakeholders
  
• Real examples of how providers are working together to bridge gaps between SDA funding, tenant matching, and sustainable occupancy
  
  

What the NDIS Commission allows for short-term tenancy solutions, and how flexibility is shaping the future of housing
