A song of success
Songwriter Fleur was previously supported by Common Ground. Fleur released her first solo EP titled ‘Fallen Leaves’ this past August. The song ‘Caught’, her first single, captures Fleur’s lived experience with mental health challenges and housing security over the years. “My song ‘Caught’ aims to raise awareness, and paint with dignity, the people experiencing the daily realities of being without a home,” said Fleur. “Housing is a human right, and releasing this song was a response to the more visible presence of homelessness in the city, and hearing about it more on the news.” Fleur was living in highly distressing circumstances prior to coming to live at Common Ground. Living at Common Ground for 8 years gave her time to pause and start a recovery journey while also having access to support, safety, and security.
“The social workers do a good job to work with people who are marginalised by society... they are very strong in friendliness, empathy, community building and sense of humour.”
The wrap around services as well as stable affordable housing were invaluable to Fleur.
