Client Care First (CCF), Canopy SDA, and Synergis Fund recently announced the ground-breaking of a new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) project in Albion Park, NSW. This exciting collaboration will deliver high-quality, accessible homes designed to empower people with disabilities to live independently, while fostering a strong sense of community and connection.
The project represents the beginning of a long-term partnership based on shared values and a deep commitment to enhancing the lives of participants. The Albion Park property will provide a safe and empowering home for six participants, designed to meet their unique needs while promoting independence and well-being.
Meryn Martin, Director of Client Care First, shared her excitement about this groundbreaking moment:
“We are thrilled to join forces with Canopy SDA for this exciting project. The new build in Albion Park is set to offer an accessible, modern living space that caters to the unique needs of our participants. Our shared vision of providing safe, empowering environments makes this partnership particularly special.”
These sentiments were echoed by Ben Nurmi, CEO of Canopy SDA, who added: “I’m incredibly excited to be working alongside Client Care First in delivering Specialist Disability Accommodation in the Illawarra. It’s a pleasure to partner with an organisation that shares our commitment to putting participants first.”
“Together, we’re creating high-quality, accessible homes that empower residents to live with independence and dignity, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with a team that aligns so closely with our vision and values,” Mr Nurmi added.
The state-of-the-art facilities at Albion Park, designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, will give participants the autonomy and support they need to thrive. This collaboration not only enhances the quality of housing but also aligns with both organizations’ core values of respect, empowerment, and integrity.
A key player in this project is Synergis Fund, an investment firm that specialises in socially responsible projects.
With a focus on creating sustainable and impactful developments, Synergis partners with organisations to drive positive change in sectors like housing, healthcare, and education. Their involvement in the Albion Park project exemplifies their dedication to creating long-lasting, meaningful change for communities.
Together with Canopy SDA and Client Care First, Synergis Fund is ensuring that this development not only meets the highest standards of accessibility but also contributes to a more inclusive, supportive housing landscape.
As construction begins, all parties involved are eager to see this shared vision come to life, with participants expected to move into their new homes next year. This project is a powerful example of what can be achieved when organisations with aligned missions come together to create inclusive, transformative spaces.
