(1-2) The plan to develop further Community Supported Residential Units will be informed by the outcome of the evaluation of the program currently being managed by the Mental Health Commission.
(3 - 6) Not applicable.
(7) Yes the CSRUs provide an accommodation option for people with mental illness who require stable accommodation and support. The Government has provided new investment to expand the accommodation and support options for people with mental illness through the provision of 100 homes and individual support packages that provide more personalised options for people with mental illness to live a good life in the community.
