Personhood occurs when tenants have a valued sense of themselves and their potential and exercise control over the key decisions in their lives.
Citizenhood
Citizenhood occurs when tenants and their families are included as active citizens in the life of the wider community, based on their inherent value, interest, responsibility and capability as contributing citizens.

Capacity building occurs when tenants, through access to experiences and support, grow their capacity to move into lives characterized by personhood and citizenhood. This also includes the wider community growing it’s capacity to be inclusive and supportive of all people.

COLLABORATE WITH US
At Ability Housing, our Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) allows people living with a disability to live their best lives’ starting with their ‘own front door’ and full tenancy rights. We believe in genuine separation between SDA providers and support providers to protect and enhance Participant rights. That is why Ability Housing do not provide care supports in our homes.
We build and manage SDA; houses, villas, apartments and farms in desirable areas reflecting participants’ requests. Our professional and experienced approach to engagement, codesign and personalisation of each individual’s home reflects their desired lifestyle preferences.
We collaborate with principled and value-aligned support providers focused on quality and service outcomes to complement our bespoke SDA homes.
We have an open Registration of Interest process for support providers (ILO, SIL, concierge services).
