we are committed to making a positive impact and ensuring everyone has access to an affordable, 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. The Community Engagement Team in Tasmania is evolving,
and we’re excited to welcome some fantastic new team members on board! If you see them around, be sure to say hello and give them a warm welcome. I am also thrilled to introduce our new Director of Housing Services, Cynara Miles. Originally from Perth, Cynara brings over two decades of experience in the housing and community housing sectors. She is deeply committed to enhancing our services for you, our residents, through our national services model. Cynara is also passionate about addressing the needs of diverse and vulnerable communities, ensuring that we continue to improve and meet everyone’s unique requirements. We are incredibly fortunate to have Cynara join the Housing Choices team and she is looking forward to meeting you as and when opportunities arise. Please join me in giving her a warm welcome when you see her.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and found some time to relax and recharge. This edition of Homes Stories is packed with exciting updates, stories, and important news. We’ve included a special section highlighting some of our most anticipated housing projects underway across Australia, where we’re not only building more homes but also improving the quality of living for people and families in need.
