Homelessness Services

We connect people who are homeless with sustainable pathways to housing, education, training, employment and social support.

Melbourne Citymission is a recognised leader and innovator in the homelessness sector. Our services offer people the resources and support they need to reconnect with family, community, and education and employment, so they can create a clear pathway out of homelessness.

Through our innovative homelessness services we work with young people, families and people exiting prison, supporting them to take control of their lives and engage in their community, both socially and economically.
