La Trobe University and the Summer Foundation are investigating the link between housing and outcomes in the lives of people with disability. A study of the experiences of 15 people who have moved into single-occupant SDA apartments found that compared to their previous housing:

• 60% had higher overall health
• 66% had improved wellbeing
• 73% had greater community integration
• 21% no longer required overnight support
• Required 2.4 hours less support per day
