About My Home, My Choice
My Home, My Choice is a 2-year project that will support people with:
- Intellectual disability
- Global delay
- Down Syndrome
This program will use peer support to help people:
- Understand their home and living options
- Share their experiences with others
- Make informed decisions about housing
- Connect with others in the community.
Helping people with disability understand their housing options.
Self Advocacy Sydney’s project has co-designed our housing roadmap with adult NDIS participants with intellectual disability using a peer support model.
Peer Support Mentors will be employed to help participants understand their home and living support options.
This project will use easy-to-understand accessible audio-visual resources to:
- Build individual capacity
- Guide participants to understand available options
- Make informed home and living decisions based on choices available.
The co-created resources will make use of the online platforms such as YouTube to broadcast home and living options to a wider audience.
Self Advocacy Sydney have been awarded a 2 year funding grant from the NDIA for this project.
