Hope Street has a strong and collaborative partnership with the Melton City Council in responding to the needs of local young people who experience homelessness. This has been demonstrated by Council’s support for the Hope to Home in Melton pilot program as well as being a significant contributor in the development of the Hope Street First Response Youth Service in Melton. Council committed a significant block of land in Melton for leasing to Hope Street for the construction of the crisis accommodation facility and they provided planning and other support towards the project.

The City of Melton clearly sees the need to keep vulnerable young people in their local community, supporting their engagement with school, employment, social and community connections.
