Supported Housing & Living
What service do we provide?
Knowing the difference between various providers and the service they offer can be a little confusing. Nowadays there are mental health care homes, rehab facilities, supported living accommodations, supported housing, emergency housing and more. So we wanted to clarify exactly the service we provide at Swinburne Housing.
Swinburne Housing is a supported housing provider; however we can also fall into the category of supported living (depending on the each local authorities definition).
