From the General Manager
Hi All, Welcome to the Winter edition of Home Stories .
I loved reading resident Susan’s story about her amazing artworks, and how she’s connecting with community through her art. You can do the same through our 2023 Home is Where the Art is Competition and Exhibition! Whether you’re thinking of applying for a scholarship for your studies, or creating a piece of art, there’s heaps of ways to connect with the Housing Choices community over the coming months. Featured also in this edition is some valuable information on NAIDOC Week.
As the weather cools down, please make sure you’re keeping warm and staying connected. Our Community Development and Engagement Team have included some great resources in this newsletter for creative ways you can beat the winter blues. Please also remember to keep your balconies clean and tidy, as this can pose a fire hazard even in the cool and wet weather. This newsletter includes a staff profile introducing Alex, our new Community Development and Engagement Officer to you. We’re so excited to have Alex on board and she can’t wait to meet you all.
Best,
Melissa Palframan General Manager of Housing Services
