Through innovative partnerships and meaningful engagement with community, partners and people with lived experience, Indigo Junction works collaboratively to deliver evidence-based, trauma-informed solutions to crisis and hardship across the City of Swan.
In 2021, Indigo Junction secured $5.5 million in funding through the Department of Communities’ Social Housing Economic Recovery Package (SHERP), now known as the Social Housing Grants Program. This funding supported the refurbishment of 8 freestanding homes, 3 units and the Koolkuna Refuge.
Indigo Junction is proud of this project. We have taken an innovative approach to consultation and design. We have worked with communities, listening and observing, and have developed practical, robust solutions to the design and fit out. We have maximised the numbers of beds that can be safely and comfortably accommodated in each home and, most importantly, improved accessibility for people of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to provide dignified and comfortable homes for people of all abilities and larger families from a range of backgrounds.
Where possible, we have extended into available land to increase the size and capacity of properties (with all extensions meeting disability access specifications). This means more accessible housing and practical living solutions for larger families.
Our attention to seeking inclusive, accessible solutions and acknowledging the cultural needs of our clients has resulted in carefully considered design and selection of materials. This ensures efficient and practical use of precious resources and that we meet the Department’s objective of extending the life of these assets for at least a further 30 years.
All 12 properties have been completed and re-tenanted, significantly enhancing the quality and availability of safe, dignified, and accessible housing in our region.
