Urban Taskforce Australia members were given an exclusive, behind the scenes look at Arissa and Habilis’ Habilis Housing at Summer Hill.
Guests were able to tour the former industrial site – once a mattress factory – and now a Highly Commended project in the Affordable Housing category of the Development Excellence Awards.
Habilis Housing, located in Sydney’s Inner West is a purpose-built, supported housing developments, delivering 20 25-45 sqm self-contained units, each equipped with a private bathroom and a balcony, to provide people living with a chronic mental illness with housing.
There is also a clinic, supported by on-site staff, visiting psychiatrists and mental health nurse practitioners.
The tour looked at the dwellings provided by this facility, which is a mix of studio apartments and one-bedroom apartments, as well as the amenities and outdoor social areas.
Urban Taskforce’s thanks go to: Joe Scarf, Director of Arissa Group, Dr Olev Nielssen, Founder of Habilis and the entire Habilis team for sharing their project.
