Specialist Disability Accommodation 2016 - 17 The Cloverleaf Shared Supported Accommodation Project is based in Rosebud, Victoria and was established in-part by the Community Living Association (CLA); a group of elderly parents of adult children with significant disabilities, who want to ensure their children have long- term sustainable accommodation and support into the future. Housing Choices is working with CLA and the Uniting Church in Australia on the project management of this development, scheduled for completion in late 2018. Highlights of Cloverleaf • A $2.49m project • Constructing a Specialist Disability Accommodation facility to house eight residents with disabilities and two full time carers • Collaborating with the Commonwealth Government, the Victorian State Government, Bendigo Bank and Community Living Association • Project partners; Uniting Church in Australia and Melba
In May the Victorian Minister for Housing Martin Foley visited one of Housing Choices’ 69 newly acquired and refurbished Rapid Housing apartments that provide much-needed accommodation relief to victims of family violence across Melbourne. In 2016 Housing Choices was awarded a $17.9m co-investment contract under the Victorian Government’s innovative Rapid Housing Assistance Program; part of the State Government’s $152m of housing initiatives in response to the Royal Commission into Family Violence. Housing Choices’ Rapid Housing procurement team worked tirelessly to fulfil this contract five weeks ahead of schedule and under budget. Rapid Housing Highlights: • The acquisition and refurbishment of 69 high quality properties, spread across suburban Melbourne in areas of the most need, located close to public transport and key services • Housing Choices is partnered with Berry Street, Wintringham Housing and In Touch Multicultural Centre, to deliver housing plus support • On time. Under budget
