Welcome to the Winter edition of Home Stories . As always, it’s been a busy few months at Housing Choices Tasmania! With 162 properties due for completion this year, our teams have reviewed the way we onboard new residents to make sure we’re providing the information needed for a successful tenancy. Thanks to everyone that has come along to our community events – an event wrap up and photos are on page 3. Our Tasmanian Resident Advisory Committee recently met, and discussed From the General Manager
progress on projects, updates to policies and how we deliver resident communications. We’re still looking for new members, so if you'd like to have your say and help guide our services, we’d love to hear from you. Housing Choices welcomes the recent focus on affordable and social housing in the recent Federal Budget. We also acknowledge the actions taken to address the ‘cost of living’ challenges many of us face on a daily basis. At a national level, Housing Choices Australia welcomed a new Chief Executive Officer earlier in the month. David Fisher joins us with
over 20 years experience in the housing and housing services sector in the United Kingdom and Australia. Welcome, David! And, if you’re wondering who the new face is... Kim Bomford is currently acting in the national role of Chief Operating Officer, so I have had the privilege of stepping in as Acting General Manager Housing Choices Tasmania! I hope you enjoy this edition of Home Stories ,
