EPISODE 239 - SDA HOUSING ASSIST: Our backup service helping with vacancies.
In this episode, Debbie and Maddie introduce our new service - SDA Housing Assist.
NDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA t/as SDA HOUSING ASSIST.
Why, you may ask? It's because we are being contacted by increasing numbers of investors asking if we can help them find an SDA Provider and/or Participants for their dwellings which may already be built and ready for tenancy, or are in the latter part of the construction phase. We are noticing more and more SDA Providers closing their doors to new business, or turning their backs to SDA investors, due to many reasons. Thats not to say they are bad, but there is only so much a small business can handle before being overwhelmed. Besides, not all providers can provide customer service to every corner of Australia for management or tenanting support.
To begin with, lets just clearly state, that this is not our core service - we are purely an advisory consultancy and sales business. We are not a SDA Provider, nor are we a Procurement service. However, perhaps it does look like we are moving towards a "Plan B" solution service. As discussed, we are simply stepping in to act as a 'backup service' to help those investors struggling to get an outcome to the challenges they are facing in procurement. This may be to source and vet SIL Providers, Support Coordinators, Participants and alternative SDA Providers, to the one already engaged, that may be able to assist in some shape or form to such investors. Maddie explains how this service operates and the scope of our offerings in such circumstances.
In addition, Debbie and Maddie also introduce our new team member Rachel, who is our Provider Support customer service rep, whose role within SDA Housing Assist includes contacting stakeholders in the locality of the dwelling owned by the clients needing help, to have their SDA homes procure suitable participants.
If you have an SDA that is vacant, or under construction and you do not yet have an SDA Provider engaged to assist with tenanting, please reach out to us to find out more about this new service. We will happily work on the promotion or referral of the vacant property to others who may be able to work with you. No guarantees are provided!
Remember, we are not your Plan A, for participant tenanting, but rather, your Plan B, if your not getting the result your hoping.
Please contact Maddie on email address - maddie@ndis.property - for more details.
