Have you heard? A smart new accommodation place has just opened in Melbourne’s King Street. It has attractive arched windows overlooking the nightclub district, state of the art kitchens, sensory experience rooms, and a therapy dog called Alfred.
Homelessness among 16 to 25 year olds came into sharp focus with the bashing death last week of Courtney Herron, 25, who had drug and mental health issues and had been sleeping rough.According to the Mission, until last month just 109 beds were available in 17 youth refuges across Victoria, for 16 to 25 year olds in crisis.A sensory room in the new Frontyard refuge.
"But what I can say is that this is targeted to a group of people who are entrenched in rough sleeping at the moment, who do have complex issues, including mental health and drug and alcohol.
1stepfromhomelessness it doesn’t take much. Substance abuse / arrest-job loss-avo-dvo-unable to return home=homeless. Mission Australia and other associations under seize. People released from jail with no where to go. This is not just 127 people. 1000’s
Alfred will have bong smoke blown in his face for certain
18 bed?........they need like 10,000 beds.......still its the thought that counts and beggars can't be chooses.
All the millions $ that are thrown into the international aid (UN sponsored black hole) should be redirected to Australians in need. There are homeless, there are hungry children, there are elderly in need. Health system can be improved, farmers need help
Great idea
Great idea to have a dog.
