Young people are a significant group experiencing homelessness in Victoria. Compared to older cohorts, young people have distinctive pathways into, and experiences of homelessness. To effectively meet the needs of young people a youth-specific homelessness strategy is required in Victoria.

Mind Australia in collaboration with the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) have conducted a national study, Trajectories: the interplay between mental health and housing pathways, to develop a clearer understanding of the housing and mental health pathways of people with lived experience of mental ill-health.
