SDA aims to provide suitable housing options for participants with complex support needs.

1. Sustainable Financial Returns: Investing in SDA homes can provide property investors with stable, long-term rental income due to the ongoing demand for specialised accommodation for individuals with disabilities.
2. Secure Tenancy: SDA homes often come with secure, long-term tenancy agreements, providing property investors greater stability and reduced vacancy rates.
