About Common Ground
Common Ground Adelaide is a permanent supportive housing response to homelessness. The program offers quality permanent affordable housing in medium to high density accommodation settings. Participants benefit from on-site tenancy management, case management and co-ordinated support services in a supportive and connected community. Common Ground Adelaide strives to provide a safe and welcoming home environment, supported by placemaking approaches designed to support community activity and build community strength. Common Ground Adelaide introduced the first ‘Housing First’ approach in a purpose-built accommodation setting to Australia, and outcomes continue to demonstrate the positive impact of this approach in permanently ending homelessness for individuals. Common Ground models now operate across the country and continue to be recognised nationally and internationally as a successful approach to end chronic homelessness, by supporting people to settle and establish a strong foundation for their future life.
Common Ground Adelaide provides 102 supportive housing places, in fully equipped apartments across four high density apartment buildings in the west end of the Adelaide CBD. No more than 50% of housing placements at each site are supportive housing, with the balance of places being affordable housing for persons on low incomes.
