On 7 August, our Founder Matthew Rasheed joined Link Wentworth's Home Sweet 2026 sleepout in Penrith, raising funds for Western Sydney's housing services. At Residence Revival, our work is prevention, saving tenancies before homelessness happens. The night reinforced why collaboration across housing, tenancy, and community services matters so much. Read on for Matthew's reflection, plus a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us raise $900 of our $1,000 fundraising goal

Our Director & Founder Matthew Rasheed spent August 5th at a Disability and Community Services Expo, connecting with support coordinators, allied health teams, and councils across NSW. Plus, our Week 2 August capacity update: continued support for NDIS and aged-care participants, now expanded to Wagga Wagga, with a look at what the DSC Annual NDIS Conference 2026 means for the sector.

Our CEO Matthew Rasheed attended Homelessness NSW's launch of National Homelessness Week at Parliament House, where Minister Rose Jackson, Uncle Michael West and a panel of sector leaders explored how NSW can move from crisis response to genuine prevention. From social housing to health, justice and cultural safety, here's what stood out to us, and why it matters for the work we do every day helping people stay safely and sustainably housed.

Behind every participant's journey to a safe, dignified home is a carer or family member cheering them on. Residence Revival celebrates the whole household with a strengths-based approach that nurtures carer wellbeing through warm communication, shared milestones, and genuine partnership. Because when carers feel supported and connected, everyone thrives together.

Accessible housing is often thought of in terms of ramps, rails, and modified bathrooms but true environmental accessibility goes further. Residence Revival explores how everyday home liveability complements formal home modifications, and why trauma-informed environmental support is a valuable partner to structural accessibility work for NDIS participants.

NAIDOC Week 2026 marks a proud 50-year milestone honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and community strength. Residence Revival reflects on the powerful connection between home and identity, and shares exciting news about expanding capacity to support more NDIS participants.

A new NDIS consultation on home and living supports has opened this month, putting fresh focus on quality and outcomes for participants in Supported Independent Living. Discover why a stable, well-maintained home is more than a backdrop to a good NDIS plan — it's evidence that the plan is working, and how early environmental support can strengthen a participant's case well ahead of their next plan review.

As part of the National Disability Insurance Agency's (NDIA) Annual Pricing Review (APR), updated NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits will come into effect from 1 July 2026. We want to keep you informed about what these changes mean for the supports you receive from Residence Revival.

The NDIS is undergoing its most significant transformation since the scheme began. As reforms reshape eligibility, service quality, and support coordination, housing stability has never been more critical for participants across NSW. At Residence Revival, we explore what these changes mean on the ground and why early intervention in the home environment is the most powerful tool we have to protect tenancies, preserve wellbeing, and keep people where they belong.

We didn't just finish June we grew through it. Residence Revival is now Aged Care registered, opening new pathways through Support at Home and CHSP. No matter how your client is funded, we have a way in. And with capacity still available this week, there's no better time to make that referral.

Australia is in the middle of a disability housing boom. New apartment towers, social housing blocks and specialist disability developments are being announced across the country. It's a genuine shift, and for many people it represents real hope. But for the clients we work with every day, a new build on the other side of the city isn't the answer. Their home already exists. The question is whether they get to keep it.

We took the long weekend to rest but our commitment to keeping people safely housed never wavered. Now we're back, refreshed, and ready to take on the week ahead. If you have a referral waiting, now is the time.

There is something quietly profound about the relationship between a person and their home for so many people navigating disability, mental illness, or the aftermath of significant life change, it becomes far more than shelter. It becomes a mirror, a refuge, and, with the right care, a powerful foundation for healing. At Residence Revival, we have seen time and again how restoring a space to somewhere safe, clean, and genuinely someone's own can change the entire trajectory o

Every stable home begins with one compassionate step forward. For many participants, housing challenges can quietly build over time, but with the right support introduced early, what once felt overwhelming can become a powerful turning point towards confidence, stability, and a brighter future. Discover how early housing support is truly changing lives.

Residence Revival has capacity available throughout June to support individuals and services facing housing-related challenges. From hoarding and squalor interventions to housing retention and environmental stabilisation, our team works alongside providers, support coordinators, housing services, and families to help create safer, more sustainable living environments before issues escalate into crisis.

A compassionate approach to housing retention can transform lives, strengthen communities, and create lasting stability. At Residence Revival, we believe early intervention, collaboration, and people-first solutions help residents maintain safe living environments while preserving dignity, hope, and long-term housing success.

As we move into the final week of May, maintaining safe and functional living environments remains essential for participant wellbeing, stability, and ongoing engagement with supports. Residence Revival currently has Week 4 capacity available across NSW for domestic cleaning, decluttering, gardening, deep cleans, and structured environmental support services.
