Better Together Housing Newsletter July 2024

Hi everyone, welcome to the Julye 2024 edition…
Thank you for signing up to receive our updates and a big welcome to our new members.


After months of work with our website developer and members our new website is now live! If you haven’t seen it check it out here


From speaking with women over the last few years it became apparent that our website didn’t meet the needs of the women in the program. At the end of last year, we undertook an evaluation process in which it was heard loud and clear that we needed a new website. From this feedback we now have a new purpose-built website for our members.


Members should have received an email to advise that they need to reset their passwords to be able to sign into the website. If you haven’t received it please check your junk folder. If you have checked your junk folder and still haven’t received this email or are experiencing difficulties signing in please either email us on info@bettertogetherhousing.com.au or contact Natasha on 0427 465148 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.


If there is interest, we could also offer an online class to show members how to use the website. If you would be interested, please email info@bettertogetherhousing.com.au


Update From Maggie – Better Together Housing Project Lead


and meeting wonderful members of our Sunshine Coast community. My visits to local Community& Neighbourhood centres in Maleny, Pomona, Nambour, and Caloundra have highlighted the eagerness to support this valuable program. I’ve also shared information at various venues, including medical centres, Services Australia offices, libraries, and churches. Our goal is to expand the BTH community and create a vibrant calendar of events and gatherings to foster connection and empower solutions.
