A mix of disability accommodation and social housing in Rockingham has received much-needed upgrades thanks to a $2.4 million State Government grant.
The funding meant Rocky Bay, a disability support and health services provider, could refurbish 18 properties for local tenants.
Works included the widening of doorframes, replacing light and power switches with accessible ones, and adjusting cabinetry and storage in the bathroom and kitchen so they are accessible for tenants.
"The Cook Labor Government is working to ensure tenants with disability who require specialised accommodation have access to appropriate and secure housing," Disability Services Minister Hannah Beazley said.
"Western Australians with disability deserve dignity with housing that meets their needs and enables participation in the community.
"This grant to Rocky Bay is an example of how we're helping organisations deliver more homes and making existing homes more accessible."
Rocky Bay's services range from Allied Health therapies, specialty respite services, supported accommodation, community access, and personal supports for individuals living with disabilities.
