Support the Yumaro Inclusive Living Project and address the accessible housing crisis in Eurobodalla.

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, We, the undersigned residents of New South Wales, call on the Legislative Assembly to take immediate action to address the severe shortage of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in regional areas, particularly Eurobodalla. This shortage forces people with disabilities—our loved ones and friends—into devastating choices: living in unsafe housing, relocating far from families and support networks, or, in some cases, entering aged care. The Yumaro Inclusive Living Project: A Vital Solution The housing project offers a much-needed, sustainable solution, codesigned with individuals with disabilities, families, and specialists. It will provide: *Seven SDA apartments for individuals with high support needs. *A fully accessible respite apartment for local families and carers. *Communal spaces and 24/7 onsite support to foster independence and inclusion. *A central location near Moruya town centre and the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital. Currently, no new SDA accommodations are under construction in Eurobodalla, and existing vacancies are non-existent. Nineteen NDIS participants approved for SDA funding have nowhere to live, and Yumaro has identified 38 residents who will soon need accessible housing. Without action, they face unsafe conditions, isolation, and displacement. Local families also struggle without nearby respite accommodation, leaving carers under immense stress without necessary breaks. We ask the Legislative Assembly to urge the Government to: 1.Recognise the shortage of accessible housing in Eurobodalla and its impact on people with disabilities and their families. 2. Fully fund and prioritise the DA-approved Yumaro Inclusive Living Project for immediate action.
