Title

Case studies in deinstitutionalisation: implementing supported housing programs in two Australian states

Author(s)

Carter, Meg;  Burke, Terry;  Moore, Susan M.

Abstract

This paper is one of a pair examining implementation in two states of programs that provide housing and support to people discharged from psychiatric hospitals. The first paper describes the implementation in Victoria of a program established in 1995 by a non-government agency called Neami (Carter 2008). This second paper takes the Neami Community Housing Program as a point of reference against which to examine the implementation since 2005 in South Australia of a program called Returning Home.
