PF16-019 Multi-Element Improvement (MEI) Works to Dillon Court and Riverview House, Strabane.

Dillon Court: The vast majority (26nr) of the scheme's apartments are one-bedroom units, with the remainder comprising three-person two-bedroom units. Although Dillon Court is a scheme that offers 24/7 support to its residents, the care is delivered ‘in-house’ by Choice's officers and, as such, there is no joint-managed involvement required. Dillon Court is fairly unique, in many respects, in that it effectively brings three different levels of support (clients with mental health issues, vulnerable adults, as well as homeless support) under the banner of a single scheme.

Riverview House: is located within walking distance of Strabane's busy town centre and comprises an infill, purpose-built development of 13nr modern, self-contained, one-bedroom apartments, which is served by two separate communal lobbies and stairwells. Riverview House is located at the southern end of Main Street within the town and was developed during the early-2000s by Ulidia Housing.
