News & Media

As a for-purpose organisation, we want a future Victoria without homelessness and housing stress. Sharing our knowledge and the voice and experience of our clients is a key part of the work we do.

With offices in Bendigo, Geelong, Mildura and Preston and hubs in Echuca, Kyabram and Swan Hill, we support thousands of people across Victoria every year.

 

It’s important for us to share our learnings and the human story behind the statistics and help people understand the foundational benefit housing plays in people’s health, wellbeing and community connection.
