comfortable, and supportive home. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we hope you enjoy reading about the progress we are making together. I would also like to take this opportunity to share a good news story with you. A former Transitional Housing Management (THM) tenant, who had been homeless for five years, started his tenancy with us in 2020. With the support of our partners, Thorne Harbour, he has stabilised his physical and mental health, secured employment, and rebuilt his life. By the end of 2024, he reached an incredible milestone- purchasing his very own one-bedroom home and becoming a proud homeowner. This is a strong reminder as to why we do what we do - helping people find stability, security, and a place to call home. In WA, our Community Engagement Team is busy preparing for the Resident Art Showcase on 21 May, a much-loved event for residents, stakeholders and
staff. This year we’re also creating a collaborative artwork on the theme of home, which will be unveiled at the art show. You can find more information about how you can be involved in this edition of Home Stories . I am also thrilled to introduce our new Director of Housing Services, Cynara Miles.
