It was such a wonderful trip. We managed to do the parks and the penguin parade was incredible! We loved it so much we’re going to go back to the farm with my girlfriends.
Jenny, RapidHousingResident
Last year, Jenny and her children fled from family violence and made one of our 69 Victorian Government Rapid Housing properties their new home. In her fund application, Jenny said she had never been able to take her children on a holiday. The Fund paid the expenses for her and her family to stay on Phillip Island for the weekend, something that would have been impossible within her personal budget.
A support worker provided some positive feedback:
“ Housing Choices sta demonstrated empathy, respect and professionalism in all their dealings with the women and children we work with. There has been an openness and willingness to think outside the box when challenges arise and in response to any concerns our sta may have. Housing Choices lives up to its name. We work with a group of people who experience power imbalances where they haven’t had choice. This might be the first opportunity a woman has to make a decision regarding safe and stable housing for herself and her children.”
