The Older Persons High Rise Support Program (OPHRSP)

The Older Persons High Rise Support Program (OPHRSP) was developed to respond to the needs of tenants who have unmet support requirements and who live in high-rise accommodation. Through a proactive outreach model, the OPHRSP aims to engage with tenants, assess and link people to relevant health services and community care.

The program supports tenants in reaching their goals and providing social and welfare services to improve their health and social connectedness while sustaining and maintaining their tenancies to prevent housing breakdowns & homelessness.
