The Housing Connection Chatswood offers support services for disabled adults including transition to work, drop in 24 hour supported accommodation and community based training and support. The Housing Connection Chatswood provides support for disabled adults who have left school early, including valuable training programs which start by identifying the current skills of each client and the types of employment in which they are most interested.
The next step is to provide the client with pre-employment support and training in order to help them meet their job goals. Examples of pre-employment skills and training provided by The Housing Connection include enhanced communication and social skills, travel training, financial management skills, Volunteer work opportunities, training for resume writing and interviews and help with each client’s job search strategy.
Other services provided by The Housing Connection Chatswood include supported accommodation which allows residents to develop the skills they need in order to successfully transition to a more independent living situation. The goal of The Housing Connection is to enable each client to make this transition as soon as possible so they can become an active member in a community of their choice.
The Housing Connection works to accomplish this goal in a number of ways, including involving members of individual client’s family and friends in their support program. All of the staff at The Housing Connection are dedicated to creating a culture which goes to any length to improve each client’s quality of life. They help ensure that they are adhering to these standards by organizing an independent review committee of community members which meet on a monthly basis to review the progress on individual client cases.
