Suitable and appropriate supported housing is one of the greatest areas of unmet need for people with disabilities in Australia. Currently there are 12,000 young people being left behind in aged care, hospital rooms, rehabilitation centres – institutionalised accomodation – simply because there is nowhere else for them to go.
