families amid the housing shortage, there's a new way for those selling their homes to give back

As seven years have been fighting for families amid the housing shortage, there's a new way for those selling their homes to give back. Left to fend on the streets, Queenslanders miss out on a basic human right. It's no secret that there's a housing crisis in Queensland. Even those who've found accommodation often still battle to make ends meet.

Struggling to pay their bills, or struggling to be able to purchase a computer for their child. Or be able to send their child on a grade seven excursion to Canberra.

So Brisbane housing company was set up. The rents that BHC charges are at least 25% cheaper. They've now partnered with real estate Elevate. The extra money from homes they sell goes into a charity fund to help BHC residents live their new life.

As well as a home for life, Craig James also got a new graphics card for his computer. At 58, it allowed him to finish his university studies.

It smashes social housing. Social housing is old school. This is a new way.

Others have received white goods and had bills paid. Maureen Collard was unwell living in Bribery Island, but after seeing a doctor in Carindale, and struggling to find a home in Brisbane to accommodate her assistance dog, she discovered BHC. Everybody's got to pay rent. Everybody has to have a bond. She was also given a lifesaving CPAP machine. That's it. The next project in Mount Gravit will see 32 units built. A new lease on life for hundreds of Queenslanders. Jordan Bissell. Seven years.
