Social Media

The social media channels used by Hope Street Youth and Family Services of Victoria, Australia (hereafter referred to as 'Hope Street') are positive places where you can:

• Feel comfortable connecting and sharing with others
• Learn more about the issues affecting young people and young families who are homeless or at risk of being homeless – and how you can help
• Find out who we are and what we do

If you are a young person or a young family who is (at risk of being) homeless, please find and contact your nearest Homelessness Access Point.
