Magpie Nest Housing

Magpie Nest Housing is a partnership between Melbourne Project 614 and the Collingwood Football Club Foundation.

The program aims to make a genuine difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness by providing a network of support services and safe, affordable accommodation. The program targets the most vulnerable people in our community - people sleeping rough on the streets, couch surfing or living in unsafe rooming houses. The program also provides support services for women affected by the trauma of domestic violence.

There are currently 45 two- and three-bedroom houses in Magpie Nest accommodating 115 people with a history of homelessness or who were at risk of becoming homeless. 

Case workers provide individual support and care, including links to mental health, drug and alcohol addiction services, legal, employment and training services.
