Project Independence Canberra Details
PI is an innovative social housing development for people with an Intellectual Disability (ID). It represents a new and unique model of homeownership, not only in Australia but also internationally. PI provides people with an ID the opportunity to acquire equity in a property, using just their government Disability Support Pension (DSP), whilst learning the life skills and Supported Decision-Making abilities to live as independently as possible. It empowers them to use PI as a stepping stone to move to truly independent living in the broader community and grow beyond social housing as they move up the homeownership ladder.This new social housing model is based on ten residents living in separate homes built on a single block of land, with additional accommodation for a live-in coordinator to support the residents (also within the same precinct).Pathways to Independence is a 7-week course specifically designed for people with intellectual disabilities who want to develop the essential skills required to transition to independent living. Over the duration of the course, participants learn about these skills and then self-assess whether they need further specific training or practice or additional support. The key skill sets are: • Speaking Up for Myself (Self Advocacy) • Living in Harmony with Others• Managing Change and Routines • Daily Living Skills • Safe Relationships • Managing ConflictContact us for more information about our courses!
