Community Housing Service (CHS)

Safe, supported, and stable housing for improved mental health and wellbeing.

A stable home gives everything else room to grow. With somewhere settled to come back to, it becomes easier to focus on your wellbeing, stay connected to the people and supports that matter to you, and get on with everyday life on your own terms.

TeamHEALTH’s Community Housing Service offers stable and affordable housing for eligible people living with mental health conditions, across Darwin and Palmerston.

We offer medium to long-term accommodation in a range of units and houses. This is longer-term housing rather than crisis or emergency accommodation: a settled base for people ready to live independently in the community.

What We Offer

  • A stable place to call home: medium to long-term housing across Darwin and Palmerston, in a range of units and houses, shared or on your own.
  • Rent you can manage: what you pay is based on a percentage of your income, so your home stays affordable.
  • A strong home base: somewhere settled to focus on your wellbeing, your goals and everyday life.
  • A welcome for everyone: we are inclusive and respectful of every identity, background and story.

Who it’s for

Community Housing Service is for people who:

  • are aged 18 years or older
  • are living with a mental health condition or navigating ongoing challenges with their mental health and wellbeing
  • are ready to live independently in the community
  • live in, or are looking to live in Darwin or Palmerston area
  • are looking for stable, longer-term housing rather than crisis or emergency accommodation

Not sure whether this is the right fit? Reach out anyway, we’ll talk through and help you find the support that suits you.

This Program is in partnership with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Community Development.
