What’s the impact of a social home?
Home is where life begins. It’s more than just a roof over your head, it’s a place to feel safe, to grow and to build your future. Social housing isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about creating spaces that offer security, affordability and the freedom to truly make it your own - something private renting often can’t offer.
And we know that social homes don’t just impact the person in them, there’s a much wider benefit in improved health and wellbeing, fewer people facing the uncertainty of temporary housing, less pressure on government and public services and better education outcomes for children.
Our homes transform lives, strengthen communities and create better futures, that’s why we’re so passionate about growing and building more homes to help more people.
Our new campaign focuses on the Impact of Home and over the next few weeks we’ll be spotlighting real stories from across our communities, hearing directly from customers like you about how their home has transformed their lives.
Follow along, get inspired, and see how home can be the start of something extraordinary.
Impact of Home: A home full of love
We’re proud that our homes create safe and welcoming foundations where people can thrive.
Eleven years ago, Debbie took a leap toward independence. She moved out of her parents’ house with her two young boys, searching for a home that could offer stability, space and the freedom to grow. That’s when she became a Vico Homes customer and everything began to change.
Since then, Debbie’s life has flourished. She met her husband, welcomed a daughter, and built a loving family of five. Her home has been the backdrop to it all.
Debbie said: “My home gave me the freedom to build the life I dreamed of. It’s where my children feel safe, where we laugh, relax and make memories every day.”
For Debbie and her family, home is more than a place, it’s a feeling. It’s the warm hug from her children at the end of a hard day at work, cuddling up together on the sofa or cooking a delicious meal.
Debbie’s story is a powerful reminder that home can be life changing. It’s not just about having a roof over your head; it’s about having the space to build a family and a future
