He even managed to clean some of his dishes. He’s so thankful for all the support with his room especially in the midst of his current grief. I’m also so thankful to you all for being so quick to action this. He had his inspection today and has passed with flying colours.” - BHC Community Liaison Officer “The BYS team has worked with BHC, offering financial counseling, exploring employment opportunities, and providing mental health and life skills support for young residents. As these young people transition out of BYS support, BHC sees them on a positive path to independently sustaining their tenancy thanks to the integrated supports between BYS and BHC.” - BHC Housing Manager Communify | Bric Housing | Brisbane City Council Sustaining Tenancies Brisbane Youth Service Cornwall Street Youth Partnership Sustaining appropriate long-term housing for people who have had a history of homelessness and failed tenancies and delivering the associated practical support necessary to sustain the tenancy.
