MyLife Housing joins the conversation on SDA
At MyLife Housing, we’re passionate about fostering conversations that empower people with disability to explore housing options that support their independence and control. That’s why we were so excited to be part of the latest Inclusion Café event, hosted by Solution Ideas, where the focus was all about housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
The Inclusion Café is a welcoming space where people with disability, their families and friends can connect, share their experiences and discuss current issues and concerns that impact their daily lives. Our founder, Karen Abdallah, was invited as a guest speaker alongside Allara Support Services to share insights on how SDA can empower individuals with greater choice and control over their living environment.
Karen spoke about MyLife Housing’s commitment to transforming the way we think about SDA - moving beyond the traditional group home model to create vibrant, modern and accessible homes that prioritise independence and quality of life.
MyLife Housing offers beautifully designed apartments and villas in prime locations, ensuring that residents have essential services, public transport and community spaces right at their doorstep. The homes are built with flexibility in mind - open-plan layouts allow for ease of movement and communal spaces provide opportunities to host friends and family. Participants also have the option to bring their pets! By giving people more choices, autonomy and dignity in where and how they live, MyLife Housing is helping to redefine what an SDA home can be.
The event wasn’t just about sharing information - it was about real conversations around SDA eligibility and the journey to get SDA funding. Attendees had the chance to ask questions, share their experiences and connect with others on the same journey. From understanding the ins and outs of SDA to discussing the future of accessible housing, it was inspiring to see so much engagement and enthusiasm for inclusive living.
It was an absolute privilege to be part of this event and to contribute to such an important conversation about choice, independence and community in disability housing. A huge thank you to Kevin Finlayson and George Ayoub from Solution Ideas for hosting, and to everyone who came along and shared their thoughts.
