Community Housing Ltd

“Since moving to Bangs Street, Stephen says his health has improved and he feels a sense of community and belonging.”

““Every call was answered or returned promptly,””

““We want to enjoy our remaining years without the constant stress of housing issues.””

““It took a great deal of worry off our backs,””

“After years of driving an hour for groceries, it feels so easy,” Isabel said. “That part of our life had run its course. Now it’s time to look after ourselves - and this feels just right.”

“It feels luxurious,” Isabel said. “It’s beautiful, it’s quiet – just wonderful.”

“She really cared,” Isabel said. “She listened and worked it all out – that made all the difference.”

““It’s been a success beyond my expectations,” she said. “The support from Tyson and the CHL team has been extraordinary.””

““It’s not just about housing, it’s about people,” Kate said. “We’ve created something special. Every time we gather for an event, we’re not just building a garden, we’re building friendships and a stronger community.””

““I genuinely think it’s one of the best places to live in South Australia.””

““The CHL team member welcomed us and spoke with empathy and clarity. She knew our rights and understood what we cared about: gardens, transportation access and being heard. She made me feel like I was heard.””

““The meals are great — I don’t have to cook! But more than that, I’ve made wonderful friendships. The housekeepers really care, they go above and beyond. It’s a place that feels like home.””

“The team here have been very helpful and supportive. The maintenance man has been so helpful to come and do things. The team even customised my building access to improve my safety. The lift was shutting too quickly and I got jammed in the lift and now my particular swipe card makes the lift open longer for me. The CHL team are always happy to help, which has just been amazing.”

“Having room to spread out my materials and leave projects set up without having to pack everything away has been a game-changer allowing me to enjoy craft again.”

“Everything being at the right height, the switches and being able to access power points and things like that, are things people just take for granted.”

“I can be on my wheelchair if I need to be, which I try not to as much as possible, but if I have, I can be on my wheelchair and I have room to move around safely.”

“I couldn’t find SDA or disability housing in Gippsland and non-SDA housing was getting dangerous.”

“This place just ticked all the boxes for accessibility, it’s near my nephew and in a lovely location where I can enjoy the view of the bay.”

“It has been a good experience because everyone was wonderful during the move. Nothing was too difficult and we found people went out of their way to help.”
