Accommodation & Housing Support

Casa Services Ltd is Central Australia’s premium disability provider with a 40-year history of delivering high quality care to adults with disabilities.

Formed by a group of parents in the 1970s, Casa was welcoming adult tenants with disability into its first group home in 1980 – way ahead of its time and decades before the NDIS.

While retaining the dedicated passion and ethos of its grassroots beginnings, Casa has matured into a large professional NFP provider of high quality support for adults with disabilities with nearly 200 staff and 70 NDIS participants.

It has 18 homes (Supported Independent Living – SIL) with supported-living options including single and shared homes to high-level, complex care.

Casa’s other disability services are also well-regarded and growing. These include day programs of art, cookery, sport and leisure activities, community support, in-home care, and NDIS Plan Management helping participants across Australia to navigate the NDIS.

We pride ourselves on supporting participants to not only fulfil basic daily needs, but to flourish and be fully participating members of their community.

As the oldest, most trusted disability service in Alice Springs – and the only truly local one – our mission is the same as it was in the ’70s: to empower each person in our care to reach their potential with quality, person-centred support based on people’s unique abilities and goals.

The Housing Support program supports people who are facing eviction from their home or experiencing homelessness. We can help you develop the skills you need to maintain your tenancy. This includes knowing your rights and responsibilities as a tenant.

Who we help

We can help people in NT Housing and those who are leaving public housing to move into private rentals. We also help women and children escaping family violence and people with high-support needs.

How we help

A Case Manager will help you address any challenges you are facing with your tenancy. This includes accessing and maintaining safe and affordable housing. Case Managers help you to develop life skills and coordinate supports and referrals. They will advocate on your behalf with internal and external agencies.

What is the referral process?

Referrals can be received from Department of Housing and Community Development, other government agencies, community service organisations and people can refer themselves.

CatholicCare NT provides Safe Houses for women and children who are at immediate risk of harm because of family violence.

How we help

Our Safe Houses provide an immediate safe place for people escaping family violence. We help families reduce the effects of violence through counselling and support. Our support workers encourage peaceful and non-harmful solutions.

We know that there are many contributing factors to family violence, so we provide referrals to other services including AOD and family support programs.

Young people can be at risk of homelessness due to different circumstances. When this happens, they can need help with family life, school or employment. The youth outreach program works with young people to help them become healthy, happy and avoid homelessness. We help young people aged 12 to 18 years in Tennant Creek that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We work with young people to address issues such as AOD misuse, family violence, mental health concerns and school non-attendance. We help them to strengthen family relationships and maintain stable accommodation. We help them to participate in education or employment.
