OUR TENANTS YOUR STORY

I absolutely adore it here, and the best thing is knowing that I will always be able to afford the rent, whether I'm working or unwell.

Leanne, Coast2Bay Tenant

I love keeping busy and growing whatever I can here,” he explains. “The gardens build a stronger sense of community for everyone. I feel that I’ve been given a home, so this is my way of giving back.

Warren, Coast2Bay Tenant

I can keep using the gym, meet friends for coffee, go to aqua classes, and visit Mum anytime. As her only support person, this has been a lifesaver. I cannot imagine the alternative. I’m so grateful to Coast2Bay and the staff for their time and patience.
