Back to Focus Groups Overview

The Support Hub Focus Group is a dedicated team working tirelessly to bring about a transformative solution in the form of a physical hub where property owners can get emotional and practical supports as they navigate through this difficult process.

While the Support Hub itself doesn’t exist yet, our mission is crystal clear: to advocate for the establishment of a vital Support Hub, a physical and welcoming space where homeowners affected by the Defective Blocks crisis can find practical end to end assistance, up to the minute accurate information, and the emotional support they need. Currently there is nothing like this in place or planned but The Support Hub and the services it will provide are essential . Our mission is to help us rebuild our lives, address our concerns, and navigate the complex challenges posed by this unprecedented crisis, together.

Dealing with the Defective Blocks crisis can be overwhelming. You are not alone – this is a homeowner led initiative, by homeowners, for the entire community to support each other every step of the way. The Support Hub is hoped to be a safe space designed to empower, guide, and uplift us.

As with all of the Redress Focus Groups we want to bring together passionate individuals, including homeowners, professionals, and advocates who want to help solve the many issues this crisis presents. Our Support Hub Focus Group is united by a shared vision of creating a safe haven for those affected by this crisis. We actively engage with relevant people and departments as well as the community to amplify our voices, and tirelessly work towards securing the necessary resources, partnerships, and support to make the Support Hub a reality.

By supporting the Support Hub Focus Group, you’re not only contributing to the potential realisation of this essential facility but also standing with us in our commitment to rebuild homes, lives, and communities. Together, we can empower each other, provide hope, and drive positive change in the face of adversity. Your support and involvement are pivotal in our mission to make change happen together.

Funding is urgently required for this essential need. This would also ensure that the crucial work being done by the Redress Focus Groups could continue.
