Kim’s farewell
From the Executive General Manager
What’s my story? I joined Housing Choices as Executive General Manager Customer and Community Services early this year. My job is to support all the people at Housing Choices who support all our residents, across the country. To take up this wonderful opportunity I moved to Australia from the United Kingdom, along with my partner and our four kids. So, I know how important it is to feel settled, safe and connected to community. Like you, the staff at Housing Choices look forward to each issue of Home Stories - because it makes us feel more connected to you. Thanks to all the people across the Housing Choices family - staff and residents - who bring our communities together. And thanks to those who share their stories here and inspire us along the way. Happy reading, Hannah Harvey Executive General Manager, Customer and Community Services
After eight and half years at the helm of our Tassie operations we farewelled General Manager Kim Bomford at the end of September. Thank you, Kim, for your tireless work supporting our team to provide safe secure and affordable housing and opportunities for our residents, particularly in Hobart and the Northwest. For over two decades, Kim has been a passionate housing advocate for the people of Tasmania. While we’re sad to lose her from the Housing Choices family, we know Kim isn’t done yet!
Hi everyone, I was so happy to be invited by the Home Stories editorial crew to provide a ‘little something’ from Housing Choices’ national head office, for the first time. I know your real interest in Home Stories is to keep in touch with local friends and community - and rightly so. But I thought you might like to know how important Home Stories is to us too. While it’s a great read for residents, for me and all our staff it is your stories that inspire us!
