Putting ideas into action to end youth homelessness
More than 16,000 young people aged 15-24 sought help from Victorian homelessness services last year. More than 11,000 of them presented alone. This April, Council to Homeless Persons is convening a one-of-a-kind event bringing together experts and decision-makers, led by lived experience, to co-develop a new strategy to end youth homelessness in Victoria.
The Victorian Youth Homelessness Assembly will be a day and a half event exploring the fresh ideas and best ideas in youth homelessness responses, along with gaps in the system that need to be solved. Then together we’ll identify the sector’s program priorities, which we will ask the Government to fund out of the $104 million allocated to homelessness innovation in the 2023/24 Victorian Budget.
We know the problem. We have the ideas to end it. Now it’s time to put ideas into action.
The Victorian Youth Homelessness Assembly is happening 29-30 April 2025. Save the date, and stay tuned for more details over coming weeks. |
