Project Independence is a commendable example of how innovative housing models can significantly improve the quality of life and promote independence for these individuals. By providing them with secure, affordable homes, this project is not only offering a physical space but also fostering an environment that encourages personal growth, community integration, and the development of essential life skills. The warm reception received from residents and their families, along with the signing of deeds, exemplifies the transformative impact such initiatives can have on people's lives. The Governor-General's presence and recognition of the project highlights its success and the need for more widespread adoption of similar models across the country. The work of Glenn Keys AO in pioneering this approach is truly inspiring and deserving of praise. It is heartening to see that the residents are thriving and making the most of the opportunities provided to them.
