Rental stress relief is on the way for twenty Aboriginal women struggling to rent a home in the city. They will become the first tenants in Bridge Housing's new property acquisition in Glebe with the help of a $7.8 million grant from the City of Sydney. "Bridge Housing is delighted to partner with the City of Sydney to deliver more long-term affordable housing for Aboriginal women and children in 2023," Rebecca Pinkstone, CEO of Bridge Housing, said. "By purchasing this unit block in Glebe, we have retained affordable homes for our local community. The upgrade works we are undertaking will improve the environmental performance and reduce costs for our residents over the longer term. Residents will also help design and create a new community garden using Indigenous designing for country principles." Ms Pinkstone said.
