C reating safe, vibrant and engaged communities was at the centre of last year’s government housing transfer to AnglicareSA in Adelaide’s west. The Housing SA parcel, which included 737 homes in the Woodville region, was awarded to AnglicareSA by Renewal SA as a part of the Renewing Our Streets and Suburbs (ROSAS) housing transfer. A year on, we’re delighted to report that we’re well on the way to achieving our aim with a recent tenant survey showing a satisfaction rate of 95%. AnglicareSA’s Head of Housing Operations, Ben Moore, said that the transfer provided the opportunity to connect communities and provide a holistic approach to social housing services. “Our services aren’t simply about providing housing but working with tenants to build a vibrant, sustainable community,” Ben said. “In addition to our tenancy service, we support connections to multiple services, including children’s programs, financial counselling and home care services for our tenants. “We’re proud to provide quality, affordable housing within vibrant communities to South Australians on lower incomes.” ROSAS tenant Tracey is full of praise for AnglicareSA. “I can’t thank AnglicareSA enough for what they’ve done for me,” she said. “My house is beautiful, much better than I ever dreamt possible. And AnglicareSA and my tenancy officer Karen support me in so many other ways as well. “I never knew how much AnglicareSA does for the community – it’s an amazing organisation.” BUILDINGCOMMUNITIES
