Homes Out West CEO Gayle Clarke said while a merger will facilitate further support and empowerment of local communities, people currently being supported by Kirinari and Homes Out West would not experience any disruptions to their services or experience.

“Both organisations have put our tenants and customers at the centre of our decision,” Ms Clarke said.

“We’re absolutely committed to making the transition seamless for the communities accessing our services.

Homes Out West manages around 350 properties in communities along the Murray River corridor from Albury to the South Australian border from its two offices in Deniliquin and Albury.

It has been operating within the south western Riverina region since 1984.

Kirinari CEO Diane Lynch said this latest merger with Homes Out West would further enhance the ability to help people.

“Merging provides significant opportunities for both Homes Out West and Kirinari to diversify into new markets and offer expanded services in the communities we already serve – meaning we can empower and support more people in rural and regional areas,” she said.

The merger officially took effect this month.

Anyone who would like to know more about the merger is invited to reach out to Homes Out West on (03) 7032 3952 or admin@homesoutwest.com.au.
