From the Executive Director Operations For many of us, Summertime across Australia is a chance to rest and recover - slow down, take a break and spend time with neighbours, friends and loved ones.
Around the country many of our residents enjoyed end-of-year celebration events, which are always a major highlight for Housing Choices staff as well. On behalf of everyone at Housing Choices I thank all our wonderful residents for their support and valuable feedback over the year, and we look forward to delivering more and better services to all our communities in 2025.
It’s also a great time to reach out to others who could be feeling isolated or alone. We should all take the time to check in on an old friend or neighbour, to just see how they’re doing. Reading Home Stories is always a fantastic reminder just how important – and how much fun – it is to feel and be connected to our communities. True to form, the start of summer here in South Australia has been a busy one!

wonderfully talented music group performing, and I hope you enjoy Lana’s parting words detailing some of the history of our Common Ground Program. It was great to celebrate our wonderful residents doing kind deeds in their communities at the Kindness Awards Lunch, and of course to celebrate the end of 2024 at our two Resident Christmas Parties.
