Visit Council’s Homelessness Week stall at Gleadell Street Market on Saturday 1 August to learn more about homelessness in Yarra and the support services available locally.
Rough sleeping is increasing in Yarra, with the number of people recorded as sleeping rough rising from 54 in April 2025 to 67 in July 2025.
The figures were collected through Yarra Zero, a local partnership working to end rough sleeping homelessness by coordinating support for people sleeping rough.
Drop by between 8am and 12 noon to take part in an origami house folding activity, where you can fold, draw or write a message on a paper house as part of a community display for Homelessness Week.
You can also find out how to refer a rough sleeping site through Council’s online reporting tool and learn more about local support services for people experiencing homelessness. Launch Housing will be onsite to share information about its new Initial Access Point on Bridge Road.
