HOT TOPIC

Celebrating the Talent of Melbourne’s Homeless Community

Would you ever think about a homeless person as talented, creative or in possession of some pretty amazing skills? Probably not.

It’s time to change your perception. Youth Projects supports Where The Heart Is Community Festival. Now in its eighth year, the festival is

a celebration of the lives, skills, talents, creativity and achievements of

Melbourne’s homeless and marginally housed community.

The festival, put together by over 30 organisations in the health and

homeless sectors and supported by the local, state and federal governments,

was held on March 23 in Fitzroy North’s Edinburgh Gardens.

Aimed at offering a day of fun and performance for Melbourne’s home-

less, the day was packed full of fantastic activities including music per-

formances, poetry readings and art and craft workshops as well as services including free haircuts, massages and meals.

Youth Projects understands that part of being homeless is losing your connection to society and to your personal identity. Homeless and disadvan-

taged people struggle to feel part of a community — becoming re-connected

to something is part of the process of ending homelessness.

Where The Heart Is encourages proactivity. Last year, over 1, 000 home-

less and disadvantaged people attended the festival in the hope of meeting people they could connect with.

Determined to help Melbourne’s homeless and disadvantaged commu-

nity, Youth Projects runs a program called The Living Room. Located in the heart of the city, the initiative provides services including food and

material aid, phone and internet, housing support and counseling.
