Your Futures Scholarships Your Futures Scholarships are part of the Housing Choices Community Fund Grants Program, which supports educational opportunities for our residents and their children. The scholarships have been operating for two years and are open to residents’ children completing Year 11 and Year 12 studies. Scholarships can cover out of pocket expenses for educational materials, books and information technology items, or tutoring costs for additional support. We are proud to provide support to students who due to di cult circumstances, may otherwise have had to curtail their education.
Harmony Day Housing Choices plays an integral role in two Harmony Day events in March. In 2017 the Acton Harmony Day was hosted by the Mariposa Filipino Dance Group and sponsored by Housing Choices. The event was a great success with a feast of Filipino food, colourful Filipino costumes and great music and dancing. Around 200 people attended and enjoyed the festivities.
Resident Community Fund The Housing Choices Tasmania Resident Community grants program provides residents and partner organisations with the opportunity to deliver projects and programs in their local community. To date the fund has distributed over $80,000 and funded 12 programs, supporting activities that build skills, encourage participation and bring people together.
Somerset Arts Festival Housing Choices provided support to the Somerset Arts Festival in February 2017, to enable free entry for the community so all could enjoy the festivities. We were also honoured to sponsor two of the festival’s arts prizes, to encourage budding local artists.
