๐ SDA for Rookies
๐ค Heard about SDA? Curious? Want to own your own home?
๐Specialist Disability Accommodation is where NDIS helps pay to build accessible homes for disabled people (
and not just those with physical disability, btw).
๐ก Did you know that those payments can go to disabled people (itโs not just for developers) who have built their own SDA home? And it can be a lot of money.
๐ช 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๏ธโฃ What is SDA and who is eligible for this funding?
2๏ธโฃ What sort of homes can be built and do I have to share house?
3๏ธโฃ How much money might you get, and for how long?
4๏ธโฃ The (many) steps to building your own SDA home.
5๏ธโฃ Being a โself providerโ of SDA, or not? โ what are the other options?
