Gaining Access

Malgorzata's Story
Malgorzata rented a house for 5 years from a private landlord, the property was in poor condition and not safe for her young child.
When Malgorzata was 7 months pregnant with her second child the landlord put the property up for sale, it was already on the market when she found out that she would have to find somewhere else to live.
Many people came to view the property and Malgorzata had to show them around, fortunately one of them was Helen from BCHA.
Helen decided to purchase the property and Malgorzata and her family stayed on as tenants of BCHA.
Since purchasing the property, BCHA have completed all the repairs, put in a new kitchen and bathroom and replaced the roof.
Malgorzata and her family are very happy with their home.
