Post-parental housing transitions among adults with intellectual disability

This project will advance knowledge by generating a national framework from which governments, the disability, housing, and ageing sectors can base policy and practice responses to address the housing needs of adults with ID and their older family members. It will ensure Australia is at the forefront of policy and practice regarding transitions to post-parental housing and living arrangements in urban areas. By supporting a shift from a crisis-driven approach to best practice in transition planning, this project will assist in the cost-effective allocation of resources to support transitions of adults with ID. This will reduce demand for costly and often harmful crisis interventions (such as mental health and crisis accommodation), allowing advanced planning of necessary long-term housing assistance, personal support and other services.
