๐Ÿ  SDA for Rookies

๐Ÿค” Heard about SDA? Curious? Want to own your own home?

๐Ÿ”Specialist Disability Accommodation is where NDIS helps pay to build accessible homes for disabled people (and not just those with physical disability, btw).
๐Ÿ’ก Did you know that those payments can go to disabled people (itโ€™s not just for developers) who have built their own SDA home? And it can be a lot of money.
๐Ÿ’ช I want disabled people to own their own homes! Why should the developers make thousands of bucks when many disabled people and families could well build and own their own?

โ“ What Will These Resources and Workshop Explain?

1๏ธโƒฃ What is SDA and who is eligible for this funding?
2๏ธโƒฃ What sort of homes can be built and do I have to share house?
3๏ธโƒฃ How much money might you get, and for how long?
4๏ธโƒฃ The (many) steps to building your own SDA home.
5๏ธโƒฃ Being a โ€œself providerโ€ of SDA, or not? โ€“ what are the other options?
๐Ÿ‘‹ You do not have get our resource kit or come to our workshop but we would love to see you and explain things in our straightforward way.
๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ We like to use clear words and answer your tricky questions.
