Housing Choices Australia Annual Report 2018

Meet Valma.

Born in 1936, Valma has lived in her current Housing Choices home for 45 years. Located in the centre of Adelaide, originally surrounded by vacant land, Valma's home remains a beautiful, traditional workers cottage of the 1800s. Valma loves knitting, listening to music (Santa Lucia and The Blue Danube are favourites) her cat Jemima (who sleeps on her bed), needlework, shopping and moving her furniture around. She loves a joke and says humour is a great way to overcome adversity. Two of her favourites; "Why did the bread roll? Because it saw the “butter fly" ... and ... "Why didn't the skeleton want to go to the ball? He didn't have “any body” to dance with."

When asked what home means to her, Valma says: "being happy and content.”
