From Social Housing to Home Ownership. How this Aussie Startup is Breaking the Poverty Cycle for Women

About 2 weeks ago, Charlene received the keys to her first home. After 3 years in social housing and time spent homeless, Charlene now has a safe and secure place to raise her 3 kids thanks to a 'leg-up' from Head Start Homes. Head Start Homes is a not for profit social enterprise that's all about helping community housing tenants becoming homeowners. And even better, I discovered that my friend and super-duper buyers agent Brooke Flint is involved! Most of us dream about owning our own home. But this dream can often feel insurmountable for many of us when we need to raise an astronomical amount for a deposit. Head Start homes takes away the need to save for a deposit by acting as a guarantor - a little like the 'bank of mum and dad' that helped many of us get a start in the property market. In this episode, Brooke Flint Tells us all about the story of Charlene and how buying her own home has changed her life and that of her 3 kids.Want more from The Grown-Up Girls Report? Follow along and join the conversation:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegrownupgirlsreport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegrownupgirlsreport/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegrownupgirlsreport🎧 Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
