About this episode

Watch the full episode 35 of The DHS Difference for the whole conversation. Tenant matching in SDA is often misunderstood as a leasing function, when in reality it is a complex operational and system wide process. In this episode, David and Lauren break down why many SDA properties experience prolonged vacancies despite apparent demand, including design mismatches, referral pathways, provider readiness, and unrealistic assumptions made during feasibility. This conversation is aimed at unpacking why tenant procurement is one of the most underestimated risks in SDA and what needs to be in place for matching to work in practice, not just on paper. #SpecialistDisabilityAccommodation #SDAHousing #NDISTenants #SDAOperations #DisabilityHousing #SILProviders
