Resident community fund

Farewell to our housing officer Dave December 2017 marked the end of an era, as we said farewell to our highly- respected housing officer Dave after 17 years with Housing Choices. Dave said “Thanks to everyone for the helpful and friendly place Housing Choices has been for the last 18 years. I don’t plan any regular on-going employment for the foreseeable future and an overseas trip is in the pipeline for next year” Residents who knew Dave will no doubt treasure fond memories of their interactions with him, and we wish him the very best in his next endeavour and thank him for all of his hard work and commitment.

Housing Choices will be opening the Resident Community Fund again in 2018, with the capacity to support up to six community projects. The Fund aims to provide people with the opportunity to turn their own ideas or vision for their community into reality. Open to residents and/or support agencies, the fund’s purpose is to finance communal projects for a group of Housing Choices Residents up to the value of $2500. Projects that demonstrate a benefit to the community or provide residents with opportunities to participate in recreational or educational activities will be considered. To apply, simply complete an application form describing the project idea and details. Forms are available on our website or you can request one by contacting the community development team on 1300 312 447 or info@hcau.org.au. Applications are reviewed every two months by our Victorian Resident Advisory Committee. Past examples include community garden projects, cooking or art classes, day outings and group recreational activities.
