Transforming lives
We are very thankful to the trust for making it possible for us to settle with our kids in our forever home.
Creating opportunities
The Housing Trust has allowed me to start my own business, by offering me secure housing and the opportunity to purchase a home.
Helping Whānau
The Housing Trust has helped not just Karl and I, but my wider whānau. Ēhara tāku toa i te toa takatahi, engari he toa takitini. Our strength is not made from us alone but made from many. We're stronger together.
Putting down roots
Words cannot fully describe what having a QLCHT home means to our family. Knowing that we are raising our child in a secure home, has given us so much. We are so happy to have our home, to plant a garden and put down roots.
