Medium-Term Accommodation
At Hale Foundation, we offer medium-term accommodation in Perth for NDIS participants. This accommodation is helpful when you’re waiting for a more permanent housing option, such as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Supported Independent Living (SIL). Medium-term accommodation is different from short-term accommodation, which is usually used for shorter stays and respite.

What is Medium-Term Accommodation?
Medium-term accommodation is temporary housing for NDIS participants who need somewhere to stay while waiting for a longer-term home. It may suit you if you’re between housing arrangements or need a place to stay while a more permanent option is being organised. It’s different from short-term accommodation, which is usually for shorter stays, respite or temporary care. Medium-term accommodation is a better option if you need somewhere to live for a longer set period while other housing arrangements can be organised.

If you’re unsure whether or not it’s the right fit, you can get in touch with our team.
