Aaron’s story

Program: MDAS tenancies

Aaron, a proud young Indigenous man, came to HHS as he was living in a property after the recent passing of his grandmother. HHS worked in conjunction with MDAS in Swan Hill to ensure Aaron and his partner could stay in the house owned by his grandmother for some 20 years.

Aaron is employed as a strapper for a local horse trainer and his partner works in food service at a local club.

Aaron was very appreciative of the work done by HHS and MDAS working together to achieve stable rental. Aaron feels having a stable home gives him the opportunity to start a family of his own with his partner in the future. Aaron has a great sense of pride being able to stay at his late grandmother’s house and sees a long future in Swan Hill.

I am very grateful for the chance to be able to live and maintain a tenancy in the house my grandmother lived in for so long. After her passing I didn’t know if I would be able to keep living here but I am very happy I can. I have some great memories at this place with my grandmother.
