Assistance with Care and Housing for the Aged Project
(ACHA)
The
Assistance with Care and Housing for the Aged (ACHA) program is
available to help older people in the community with their housing
issues.
The
program aims to assist elderly clients to remain living in the
community as independently as possible by linking them to
appropriate housing or community care options. This means ensuring
that they are living in safe, affordable and suitable housing that
adequately meets their needs.
The
ACHA worker is available to meet older people by appointment and
talk to them about any concerns they may have about their current
living arrangements. Appointments can be made at the Grattan
Gardens Community Centre, or in the client's home if necessary. The
worker and the client will work together to devise a plan to
address their housing and care needs in the most effective manner.
The service aims to be as culturally sensitive, safe and flexible
as possible.
The
ACHA program assists people who:
- Live in the City of Stonnington
- Are
aged approximately 55 years or older
- Are
on a low income
- Are
renting, living with family or friends, are boarding, and have some
type of housing or homelessness issue
