Many of the young people in our service face justice and legal issues. This project provided 150 young people experiencing homelessness who were 16 - 25 years of age and residing in Hope Street's Refuge in the Northern Metropolitan region with legal education, information and support.
This project equipped 50 young people with basic life skills needed for independent living and encouraged positive interaction between residents at the Brunswick Crisis Refuge, Whittlesea and Melton Transitional Accommodation.
There has been no youth friendly space designated for homeless young people in the Northern Metropolitan region to seek assistance. This project benefited 200 young people, aged 16 - 24 and from diverse multicultural backgrounds, who were homeless or at risk of homelessness (and their children) and utilising the services at our Brunswick site.
