“In the morning, I can see the sun come up. We all have our own balcony, so we all have our own little outdoor space. I have to keep pinching myself. I still can’t believe it really.”
📍 Summerhill Village, West Footscray

Keeping community connections 🏘️❤️
Ioulia wished to stay close to her community.
Thanks to our relocations team, she was able to move into a nearby unit with familiar faces. Her dear friend Anna is also downstairs.
How about this for a school excursion? 🎨
We gave students from Tate Street Primary School a sneak peek at what we’re building next door to their school in East Geelong 💞

Our relocations team really are something special 💛
They work so hard to support renters every step of the way and they make what can be a big change feel a whole lot easier.
We love sharing these stories… seeing people move into homes where they feel happy, safe, and still connected to their community is what it’s all about.
And a little fun fact from this one: the voices you can here are those of Cindy (Thi's daughter) and Justine (Xu's granddaughter). How special is that?!
