Description

There has been a growing shift from congregate disability housing toward more individualised housing models. This scoping review examines outcomes for people with disability and complex needs between 2019 and 2025, highlighting the benefits of individualised housing in supporting autonomy, well-being and community participation. However, gaps remain in outcome data and housing descriptions.

The review highlights the importance of ongoing refinements to individualised housing and related policies to ensure alignment with the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which recognizes access to suitable housing as a fundamental human right. The refinements should focus on enhancing the accessibility and ongoing tailoring of the built environment and allow for additional support during transition periods.
