Christmas inJuly
In July, Housing Choices celebrated three years of operation in the north-west of Tasmania under the Better Housing Futures program. We were thrilled to hold two celebration events with our residents. Both events were a huge success with the Shorewell Park community showing up in droves to the Burnie Child and Family Centre for a feast catered by the Burnie Community House. At our Latrobe event, over 110 residents joined us at the Latrobe Memorial Hall, organised largely by our resident group, Next Steps participants and the East Devonport Community House. The Community House catering trainees cooked up a roast feast for everyone to enjoy with Santa joining us to find out what we all wanted for Christmas. The Latrobe Memorial Band was a huge hit with the residents, particularly their rendition of The Proclaimers, I’m On My Way which had everyone dancing.
Curtains ForYou
The Housing Choices’ Community Fund Grants Program continues to support educational opportunities for residents. The Curtains For You sewing program commenced in May 2018 after feedback from the residents in East Devonport. The program runs from East Devonport Community House and residents learn how to mend and alter clothing and make cushions and block-out curtains for their home to maximise energy e ciency.
The program has been very well received and will continue until December 2019.
