Amy and Banjo's Housing Story

Amy and Banjo believe affordable housing should be accessible for low to medium income earners and something that can be managed in addition to sustaining other essential needs like food and clothing, education, medical needs and keeping the bills paid.

They first heard about the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust from a former colleague. After registering their interested, the QLCHT called to run through a few details and their housing journey built from there.

“Owning a house has given us the opportunity to have something tangible for the benefit of our entire family. The QLCHT helped provide the chance for us to own a home, while still meeting other living expenses and having a bit left over to save.”

When it comes to the future, Amy and Banjo are looking forward to welcoming the right pet into the household, and perhaps heading overseas for a holiday once it’s possible.
