Brynhild plans to provide supported accommodation for people who have a need for this type of housing. The supported accommodation that is provided should be flexible and supported by a number of service providers and a continuum of support options. One of the key points to service options within supported accommodation is that people with a disability and older people should maintain their independence and have a level of self-determination. All supported accommodation should be tailored to individual needs and these needs should be in response to the wishes expresses by the resident.
Brynhild Investment Trust plans to establish a network of supported accommodation hostels throughout Brisbane. The directors are aware of the current accommodation climate and the lack of truly decent rental places for the disadvantaged.
