The HeyVan is an assertive mobile outreach service which operates from our Bendigo office, and supports people sleeping rough in the city and the Greater Bendigo area.
Aimed at providing early intervention to reduce the psychosocial impact of rough sleeping, the HeyVan team actively seek out people who homelessness services have not previously been able to help.
The HeyVan carries basic foods and essential items and supports people who are chronically homeless or sleeping rough, build up a trusted connection and help them get access to the emergency accommodation, housing and support services they need. The HeyVan has supported more than 160 people to date.
The HeyVan is part of the Homeless Assertive Outreach Response Program, an initiative of the Victorian Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Action Plan.
