Hope Street Youth and Family Services

Hope Street Youth and Family Services was one of the first crisis accommodation services for young people in Victoria, Australia and we have been helping at risk young people and young families facing homelessness for more than 35 years.  Family/relationship breakdowns, mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction, housing crisis, inadequate or inappropriate living conditions, and insufficient income are just some of the factors that can lead young people into homelessness.  

So what can you do to help?  Use this Youtube channel to learn more and then talk about youth homelessness with others in your local community - awareness of the issue is the first step to doing something positive about it.  You can also support organisations like ours that are responding to youth homelessness: donate, volunteer or become a partner.

If you, or someone you know, is (at risk of) experiencing homelessness in Victoria, Australia, see our website for contact numbers, links and other information.
