🎄 Merry Christmas from the Jacaranda Housing Team! 🎄 As 2024 closes, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our tenants, members, Board of Directors, and incredible stakeholders for your support and collaboration throughout the year. Together, we’re achieving our goal of providing a positive tenant experience, creating more homes and communities where our tenants have a sense of belonging, and supporting Queenslander's right to a safe home. We’re ready for 2025 with even bigger goals and a shared commitment to making a difference. We look forward to continuing our partnerships and driving impactful change in the year ahead. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a wonderful New Year! 🌟✨ #MerryChristmas #JacarandaHousing #CommunityHousing #Partnerships #ThankYou2024 #BringOn2025 #SocialHousing includes images of the JH team and recent tenant Christmas events.

🌍 Celebrating Human Rights Day 2024 🌍 On Human Rights Day, we reflect on the core values that drive us at Jacaranda Housing- dignity, equality, and the fundamental right to a safe, secure home. We recognise that housing is more than just a roof over someone’s head—it is a cornerstone of stability, safety, and opportunity. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to upholding the rights of our tenants, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs prioritised. From safeguarding tenants’ rights to creating environments where individuals and families can thrive, we commit to ✅ Providing better homes that create a sense of belonging for our tenants and foster independence. ✅ Advocating for fairness and equity, ensuring access to housing is a right, not a privilege. ✅ Collaborating with ethical partners to create sustainable housing solutions. #HumanRightsDay #CommunityHousing #JacarandaHousing #BetterHomesBetterFutures #HumanRightsInAction

I’ve been working on this for quite a while now, and as Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ends on December 8 in Vancouver, it feels like the perfect time to finish and share it. Like Taylor’s journey through her eras, this reflection has been about connecting the dots between my biggest passions — housing and Taylor Swift — and the powerful lessons they teach us about resilience, connection, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel they truly belong.

Just One Week to Go! ✨🎄 We’re so excited to be hosting our Tenant Christmas Event next week! 🎅🤶 This is a wonderful opportunity for our tenants, staff, board members, and stakeholders to come together, share, and enjoy the spirit of community and connection.

🎄✨ Thank You to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust! ✨🎄 We are incredibly grateful to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust for their generous support of our Tenant Christmas Celebration! 🎁 This event is not just about the festivities; it's about bringing our community together, sharing and supporting one another during a season that can often feel lonely for many. At a time when connection matters most, we’re reminded of the power of kindness and togetherness. Whether through laughter, a shared meal, or simply being present for one another, these moments help strengthen our community and remind us that you are not alone. From all of us at Jacaranda Housing, thank you for helping us make this celebration a reality. 💜 #CommunityHousing #ChristmasSpirit #ThankYou #CommunityConnection #JacarandaHousing

At yesterday's Q Shelter CEO lunch, the Honourable Sam O'Connor MP, Minister for Housing and Public Works, delivered a compelling message to the sector: 'For too long, you have been held back.' With the Minister's support and collaboration with the Department of Housing, we look forward to advancing our mission of providing safe homes and thriving communities for more Queenslanders. #JacarandaHousing #SocialHousing #CommunityHousing #Homes  photo credit Emile McPhee

🌍 World Kindness Day: Be the Good 🌍 We've seen firsthand the power of kindness in our work with our tenants. When challenges arise, meeting them with compassion and understanding leads to the best outcomes. Kindness creates trust, fosters respect, and paves the way for lasting solutions that make a real difference in people's lives. On #WorldKindnessDay, let's remember that kindness isn't just a nice thing—it's essential. In every interaction, big or small, choose kindness and help make the world a better place. 💙 #BeTheGood #CommunityHousing #JacarandaHousing #makethefriendshipbracelets
