In September, we had the privilege of contributing to a meaningful project with the Bridge It Foundation, founded by Carla Raynes in 2021. Bridge It is tackling the youth homelessness crisis with innovative housing and support programs, and is the only organisation in Victoria focused on youth-supportive housing for young women. Currently, 38,000 young people in Victoria, aged 15-24, are experiencing homelessness, including sleeping rough, couch surfing, and shelter hopping. A big thank you to Mirvac for connecting us with the inspiring Bridge It team! We were thrilled to have the opportunity to fit out the kitchens in their latest housing project.
