23.01.2022 Yesterday marked the beginning of NAIDOC Week (8 15 November). This year’s theme Always Was, Always Will Be, is a powerful statement pointing out Indigenous sovereignty over the land, who have occupied and cared for it for over 65,000 years. For over 60,000 years, the area comprising present day Parramatta has been occupied by the Burramattagal people, a clan of the Darug, who first settled along the upper reaches of the Parramatta River. Evolve Housing reflects and r...ecognizes the history of the land we live and work on and its Traditional Owners, the Darug peoples. While some may not attend events this year celebrating NAIDOC Week, there are amazing virtual events and educational resources that explore key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, peoples, histories and stories. We encourage all residents to read more on NAIDOC Week by visiting https://www.naidoc.org.au/

16.01.2022 With the recent completion of our Newcastle development, we welcome our newest resident Siobhan who has just signed her lease for a brand new accessible apartment! Siobhan is 20 years old and has been living on her own for two years, in a unit that has recently been listed for sale by her past-landlord. Prior to acquiring an SDA apartment in our development, she was worried that she would have to go back to living with her mum and sister, so the signing of her new lease has e...nabled Siobhan to regain her independence and we’re thrilled for her! ‘My name is Siobhan and I’m 20 years old. I work for Liberator Australia as the New South Wales Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) Ambassador and I love music’ she said. ‘With the amazing support from Muru Pathways, I have secured a unit in Evolve Housing’s Merewether St building and absolutely love it. I cannot wait to move in and start my next chapter in the heart of Newcastle. Once lockdown ends, I look forward to venturing out around the city and walking the waterfront.’ Congratulations Siobhan and enjoy your new home! Evolve Housing is a registered Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

07.01.2022 During lockdown-life, we are having to change the way we do things.

07.01.2022 Opportunity Pathways is a voluntary statewide program that provides support to social housing clients in accessing employment, training and work opportunities. In these trying times, it is amazing to hear such great results from the programs we run. We hope this testimonial inspires you as it has inspired us. Our participant is 53 years old woman who lost her job in November 2019 due to bullying and poor management. She used all her savings and Credit Card funds to maintain ...her weekly rent payments while desperately trying to secure a new job. Being a 53 year old woman she knew it would be challenging for her to find employment due to her age. She had to go on the Centrelink Job Seeker Program for the first time in her life as she was unable to pay her weekly rent. Even though she was feeling like the world was against her she was not giving up. We referred her to Opportunity Pathways program who straight away assisted her with her employment search! They helped her with a resume and used their connections to link her with potential employers. Our participant was put on the Rent Choice Assist Subsidy to relieve her financial burden and help her focus on securing another job. This subsidy helped her sustain her tenancy and within 6 months she was back in the workforce and off her Centrelink benefits. Our participant has now requested to exit from the Rent Choice Assist Program even though we offered her the opportunity to remain on the program for another month. Are you looking for a job or wanting to improve your current job situation? Our team would love to help you achieve your goals. Fill in the form and a member of our team will happily assist you: https://evolvehousing.com.au/opportunity-pathways/

02.01.2022 In 2016, homelessness in Australia had increased by 13.7% in 5 years (ABS Census, 2016). Fast forward to 2020, the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, unemployment rates have grown, and more individuals and families are faced with the reality of housing and financial stress. Even before the outbreak of COVID-19 almost 120,000 people were facing homeless every night in Australia. We are saddened but not shocked by this and Evolve believes that prioritizing investment ...in social and affordable housing will give community housing providers the ability to prevent these individuals and families from falling into poverty, leading to better social outcomes for communities at large. In 2020, the NSW government committed to halving street homelessness across NSW by 2025. This pledge is a step in the right direction and we are very proud to be working on the Together Home project; delivering stable housing and wrap-around support for hundreds of rough-sleepers facing homelessness every night.
