The following was received from HomeGround Services:
Elizabeth Street Common Ground Supportive Housing is the first development of its kind in Melbourne. This project is based on an internationally proven, practical and cost-effective model to meet the housing and support needs of people who have experienced long-term homelessness. Supportive Housing coordinates the two essential elements in ending homelessness by providing quality housing and long-term tailored support services together in one place. Supportive Housing gets people housed and keeps people housed.
The Elizabeth Street project is a partnership between the State and Federal Governments, Yarra Community Housing, HomeGround Services and Grocon. The partnership is an Australian first with historic support from Grocon who are providing a multi-million dollar in-kind contribution.
