It is a rite of passage for child and parent alike, as one finds their figurative wings to begin living an independent life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no different for people with a disability. For 29-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6H-EAtvOc0w\">Adam<\/a>, he\u2019s finally been able to move out of home and his mother, Catherine, is now an empty nester, one who can rest assured that her son has secure long-term accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all thanks to Hearth Housing, which has created a revolutionary housing solution for the 94 per cent of people in the NDIS who are not eligible for the federal government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndis.gov.au\/providers\/housing-and-living-supports-and-services\/specialist-disability-accommodation\">specialist disability accommodation (SDA)<\/a> housing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost people live with their parents or are generally in group home settings,\u201d explains Hearth Housing founder <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.hearthaustralia.com.au\/about\/\">Justin Scanlon<\/a>, who wanted to provide a viable alternative that would benefit both his own son Tristan, who has a disability, and the disability sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a group home, people with a disability do not generally have a choice of who they live with and who supports them,\u201d explains Scanlon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the open rental market is often prohibitively expensive for people with a disability \u2013 especially if they cannot work \u2013 because government rental support is insufficient to cover the cost of renting somewhere with suitable access to family, transport and amenities. And even if an individual finds a suitable home to rent, the arrangement can be precarious. \u201cPeople can rent but they may get kicked out,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearth Housing changes all this. Scanlon, who also created <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.hearthaustralia.com.au\/services\/support-worker-services\/\">Hearth Support Services<\/a>, has spent the past several years studying housing options and consulting experts such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com.au\/\">PricewaterhouseCoopers<\/a> to develop a \u201cbricks and mortar solution\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost people with a disability are more than able to live in housing embedded in the community that does not need significant modification,\u201d he says. \u201cSo we looked at how can we take the current government inputs, and how can we then take private investment, and provide long-term surety of housing\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By partnering with organisations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickx.com\/\">BrickX<\/a>, a regulated managed investment scheme, Hearth Housing is acquiring properties it can then rent at an affordable price to people with a disability on a long-term lease basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scanlon\u2019s organisation has a growing portfolio that includes properties in areas across Victoria. \u201cBrickX has secured Hearth Housing\u2019s next property in an inner suburb of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bendigo.vic.gov.au\/\">Bendigo<\/a>, in close proximity to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bendigosds.vic.edu.au\/\">Bendigo Special Disability School<\/a>,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this means for Adam is that he\u2019s been living in a Hearth house for the past nine months, enabled by his support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany families prioritise the quality of the support worker organisation over the house, although people also need a home, so the right combination is in significant demand, \u201dsays Scanlon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe provide families with the opportunity to contribute financially to decide on where their son or daughter lives, who they live with and who supports them. In regional Victoria, where the cost of housing is lower, Hearth Housing can be provided at a much lower or at times negligible contribution from families,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;One organisation has created a revolutionary housing solution for the disability sector.&#8220; Prioritising security in accessible housing The nest metaphor is used for good reason when we talk about moving out of home.
