Darren epitomises the challenges our residents can face in society, easily slipping through the cracks of the system without a viable, permanent housing solution. After 12 months at Habilis, Darren has settled into a safe and stable way of life. And when we say Habilis probably saved his life, we’re not exaggerating.

We now have a settled cohort of 16 tenants at Summer Hill, with the remaining 4 units reserved for vulnerable mentally ill women who have not done well in public housing estates and need to be housed in a more protective environment with ready access to medical care.

Hurrah! We’re thrilled to announce that our Summer Hill centre has taken the top gong in the Social Infrastructure category of the prestigious Urban Developer Awards for 2025. It was a strongly contested category with some major industry players and some excellent entries, so we were really excited to be called up to stage.
