City West Stories
Amanda
Having worked at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for the past 15 years, Amanda had always been able to afford to live in Sydney and within walking distance of the hospital.Â
Â
Beginnings and endings
In 2018, Amanda became a first-time mother, bringing a beautiful baby girl into the world. As any other new mum would, Amanda enjoyed time off work with the newest addition to her family. Sadly, Amanda’s relationship with her partner deteriorated and she soon became a single parent. The financial strain meant Amanda had no choice but to move her and her baby back home with her own mum for help.
From Humble Beginnings
As some of you may be aware, CWH celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. Now that we’re in our 26th year and have moved into our new office at the City West Business Park in Pyrmont, we reflect on where it all began.
While CWH now owns and manages affordable housing across the local government area, around half of our portfolio is in the Ultimo Pyrmont area along with our new office on Saunders Street in Pyrmont.
