Mich's Story

By Trina Johnson • February 11, 2020
“I was homeless before I went to Project Youth, and spent some time sleeping in my car. Being at Project Youth meant I could keep working and feel safe in a house. Project Youth helped me to get identification, make a Centrelink claim, and enrol in TAFE. They also supported me to get to appointments and claim any benefits I could get. I have even applied for a TAFE course and I start studying this year.”
