(a-e) The number of people accommodated in each Common Ground facility, including the number of bedsits and apartments, will be determined once the building sites have been confirmed, due to site specific restrictions that may apply. Common Ground facilities in other Australian jurisdictions typically accommodate up to 100 people and have an equal mix of low-income tenants and people experiencing homelessness. All people are supported through on-site case management and individualised support services to help them sustain their tenancies.
