Duration

Up to 90 days.

Requires

A confirmed long-term housing outcome that is not yet available.

Covers

Accommodation only — supports are funded separately.

Common Use

Waiting on SDA, a home modification or a confirmed tenancy.

Service overview

The gap nobody funds until you ask.

MTA exists for a specific situation: the participant has a long-term home confirmed, but it is not ready. The SDA build is not finished, the modifications are not done, the tenancy starts in seven weeks. Without MTA that gap often gets filled by a hospital bed or a family home under strain.

The catch is that MTA funding requires evidence that the long-term outcome is actually confirmed. We can help you assemble that, and we can provide the accommodation and support in the meantime.

Who This Service Is For

Participants with a confirmed long-term housing outcome that is not yet available, and Support Coordinators bridging that gap.
