Housing Guiding Principles
- The home will promote independent living & be easy to maintain
- The properties should not be clustered housing, but rather embedded within local communities
- The homes will be situated close to public transport & support services should be accessible
Participant Choice
A level of choice and control is important.
Choice about where to live, who to live with and which Hearth Support Workers they work with. It is a rental model with the properties owned by a separate but related entity from Hearth. There is a choice as to whether there is a financial gap to pay privately or not, depending on the location of the home and some other factors.
