Haven Home Safe celebrated ten years of Sidney Myer Haven, a transformative housing and support programme changing lives in Bendigo. Community leaders, supporters and staff reflected on its impact, including former resident Michelle who shared her powerful story of rebuilding her life. Funds raised will help ensure the programme continues its vital work.
We continue to invest in supporting and empowering residents through our tailored placemaking framework as we can see the impact of residents connecting with each other and their wider communities.
Modular construction delivers many benefits including reduced waste and a reduced carbon footprint.
Maree Edwards MP toured our Bendigo West housing development—eight secure homes for women and children escaping family violence. In partnership with Homes Victoria and Annie North, this community-centred project offers support, safety, and a fresh start, empowering renters to rebuild and thrive.
Laughter and joy have returned to Haven Home Safe’s Sidney Myer Haven playground thanks to generous donations from the Kangaroo Flat Rotary Club, Lisa Chesters MP and a grant from the City of Greater Bendigo.
When Alice* was referred to the Exit Pathways Program (EPP) she was living in a women's refuge with her young child and newborn baby. She had escaped a 13 year-long environment of family violence.
