This is a key long-standing part of the CLP’s work which assists people to nurture a home of their own in the local community. The CLP supports more than 40 people who have an intellectual and/or other disability to live in a home of their choosing in southern Adelaide.
The CLP retains a vital role in helping people explore genuinely innovative ways in which to arrange their support so that it facilitates each person’s belonging and well-being.
It is important to note that the CLP does not provide housing for people. Rather, we see our role as helping people to access the same housing opportunities available to all other community members. This includes public housing, private rental, and, wherever realistic, pursuing private home ownership.
The Circles Initiative is involved with building and strengthening the networks of friends and families of people who have disability and who live in South Australia. Most people supported currently live in the Adelaide suburban and surrounding areas, some reside in institutions, community group homes, in their own homes in community,and people living at home with their family.
