Hope Street have designed an innovative support response to youth homelessness solution that will offer not only a safe home but access to apprenticeships and job training, as well as access to mental health, alcohol and other drugs and wraparound community services.
Our Hope Street sites joined together virtually and in person for a NAIDOC Week 2022 morning tea yesterday. It created an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2022 Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!
Donna Bennett, Hope Street Youth and Family Services CEO, is thrilled that our partnership with FiveP, investing in technology advancing end user efficiency for the delivery of essential services to vulnerable homeless young people and young families, has been recognised in this international nomination.
Hope Street is a co-sponsor of the April 2022 edition of Parity, a national magazine about homelessness that is produced by Council to Homeless Persons, titled Homelessness and Young People: Support During Troubled Times.
"This is the first edition of Parity to focus explicitly on best practice in providing support to youth. However, the focus is also on best practice in the context of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people, homelessness and on service providers and provision," said Jenny Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Council to Homeless Persons.

FEATURED PILOT PROGRAM: Hope to Home in Whittlesea
Many young people face obstacles when trying to secure stable accommodation due to no rental history, lack of affordable housing, and no employment to sustain rental leases. The Hope to Home in Whittlesea pilot program will address these issues by:
- Facilitating the transition of up to 30 young people (and their children) from the Hope Street in Whittlesea program or Whittlesea Housing into 1 and 2 bedroom units
- Providing case management once they secure private rental of these units
- Helping these young people maintain their tenancy, employment, education and training, and community connections
- Engaging the support of community stakeholders including local businesses to address barriers contributing to youth homelessness
Please contact us if you would like to become a partner and support at risk young people and young families.
