Salvos Victoria Homelessness Service - Gateways

Leanne Foster (Manager of Melbourne’s Gateway Program) says, “There should never be a stigma attached to homelessness. People are people, everyone on their journey of life has a struggle of some description.” Each client at Gateways comes with a unique story, experiences and trauma, and the team works hard to meet the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of each person.

Telisha, a Gateways resident, shares how support and kindness at the program have helped her break the cycle of instability for her two-year-old son. In the hope of building a better future for them both.
