Village 21
Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (16:35): Last week also there were more cranes than ever in Frankston – more cranes in Frankston than in Richmond, in fact – with the arrival of some very innovative housing for young people. Village 21 – Moorrumbina Mongurnallin – is an exciting collaboration between Kids Under Cover; the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing; Harris HMC; NH Architecture; Sensum; and the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency. The Village 21 project will comprise six units that will see six young people aged 18 to 21 years transition to independence with the help of onsite mentors and wraparound services in a supported housing model. I was so pleased to be able to visit that site and thank everyone involved.
