Recipient story
3 family households on 1 rural property with all 3 houses severely flood damaged awaiting repair & loss of most possessions
Flooding 2022
Other hardship(s)
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
This household consists of 3 families that were living in 3 separate houses on the working rural family property. All houses were severely damaged and are awaiting RHP house raises which the family did not qualify for co-contribution waiver. This means all available finances were needed to contribute to raising 2 houses, with the 3rd house relying on repair work from Resilient Lismore. The 3 family household members consist of 5 adults and 2 teenage daughters, which will all need to occupy the 3rd unfurnished house (at once) once repaired, to then allow the other 2 houses to be raised.
This family has had minimal RSS support and needs assistance to furnish a the 3rd house for them all to live in together while awaiting house raises to be completed.
Once house raises are complete they hope to move back into all 3 houses as 3 separate family units.
Since the 2022 flood event they have relied on borrowed and donated furniture along with 2nd hand and repaired whitegoods.
