Kids Under Cover supports vulnerable young people at-risk of homelessness by building relocatable rooms in the backyard of the family or carer’s home – relieving overcrowding, easing tension and providing young people with a secure and stable environment. Kids Under Cover also provides education and job training scholarships to keep young people engaged, while keeping them connected to their family or carers.
Kids Under Cover is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and disadvantage across the families it supports by not only sponsoring youth living in the relocatable rooms but also offering their siblings support with their education.
Keeping with his tradition of selecting a Victorian-based charity, Treasurer Tim Pallas has made a personal donation to Kids Under Cover and is encouraging all his parliamentary colleagues and community leaders to dig deep.
