                    Living Room - Youth Projects has won the 2010 Melbourne Award for Contribution to Community by a Community Organisation.

                    Youth Projects Living Room is the only primary health care service in Melbourne that specialises in supporting homeless and marginalised people.

                    Established in 2002, the Living Room provides a positive, inclusive space for disadvantaged Melburnians to gain support, free health care and the means to be socially engaged, active community members. Successfully embracing an innovative, holistic model of support, the Living Room builds the capacity of individuals for whom the CBD is their home.

                    Collaborating with neighbours, local businesses and other community organisations, the Living Room tries to build understanding around the challenges faced by homeless people and make Melbourne a safe, welcoming and tolerant city. Youth Projects is proud to work above and beyond its funding requirements to ensure no client is left unsupported.
