Spotlight on: Evolve Housing Limited

Things haven’t been easy for Samantha, mother of two. Pregnant and looking after her young daughter, Samantha lost her job. Not long after Samantha gave birth to her son, she received an eviction notice.

Unable to make ends meet, Samantha spent precious money to return a missed call from Evolve. 

Evolve changes Samantha's and her children's lives. While they still struggle, Samantha says 'I have groceries, my bills are paid, I know my rent is paid, and the spiral of rental arrears hasn't happened for me in the 12 months I've been here.'

'People living in housing stress are no different to anyone else... it's just a matter of circumstances at a point in time,' says CEO of Evolve, Lyall Gorman. 

For Evolve, improving the quality of life for people such as Samantha, and playing a critical role in the nation's endeavour to improve housing outcomes is 'incredibly satistying and rewarding.'
