Positive and timely intervention

Tin lived in an unregistered rooming house with unsafe conditions, including poor wiring, rampant drug use, and violence. These conditions led to a decline in his mental health. Tin was paying $260 per week without a lease or bond.

The RHOP team intervened and created a support plan, connecting Tin with housing services and lodging complaints with local council and Consumer Affairs Victoria. These efforts led to Tin securing safer crisis accommodation.

This case underscores the importance of RHOP’s collaborative approach in addressing complex health and housing issues.
