Having your own housewarming
Thu, Jan 10 2008

A housewarming wasn’t even on the horizon for 36-year-old Kien – until very recently.

But Kien has joined the growing number of people with disabilities making a successful transition from a home shared with other people with disabilities, to living in his own home.

With support from his family, who have purchased a unit, and with funding from a Support and Choice package, Kien has been able to move out of the shared home he has lived in for the past 15 years.

Victorian Person Centred Services staff visit him every morning to help him get up and running for the day. When he returns home after work, we help him prepare meals, shop, pay bills and attend medical appointments – not to mention going off to the occasional footy match!

Now he has his own space and can make his own decisions about how his life is going to work . Kien is living life his way – and he loves it!
