The Portland Light House home aims to tackle the urgent need for accommodation and support options for people with a disability in and around the areas surrounding Portland, Victoria. As a group, we seek to establish a long term shared accommodation and support share house for 4 individuals with disabilities requiring 24 hour support, 7 days a week. It is intended that the successful implementatio
n of this home will offer a long term solution to the housing problem for people with disabilities within Portland. The key functionality of the Portland Light House home will revolve around:
# which is responsive to the safety and supervision requirements of the individuals at all times they are within the home.
# flexibility to provide individualised support that will enable residents to continue access to their chosen recreation or leisure activities, inclusive of personal and medical appointments.
# support to cover day program holidays, public holidays, or day service program development days. This project is a very large task for a small group of people to undertake, but we see it as the only option to ensure this region has the facilities required to ensure the members of the community who need it the most are cared for into the future.
