AN INNOVATIVE place-based project is transforming the lives of vulnerable youths in Murray Bridge.
A broad community construction project has converted disused duplexes into eight apartments for young people at risk of homelessness.
Tenants in these specially created homes are now supported by ac.care’s intensive services.
This support has led to young people engaging in education, employment and connecting with the community to achieve their aspirations and future independence.
This unique service model, combining community construction with ac.care’s specialised ongoing youth support is moving youth from homelessness to stability.
We have proudly supported tenants in completing their SACE, securing jobs, and progressing to private rentals or reuniting with family.
But this impactful service is not funded and continues thanks to donations and other community support.
You can help! Make a one-off or regular contribution to Studio Purpose and ensure vulnerable young people in Murray Bridge have the support they need to overcome barriers and thrive.

DONATE: Anyone can make a tax-deductible donation online to help ac.care support Studio Purpose tenants HERE or via the form below.

ONGOING SUPPORT: Call the ac.care Murraylands Centre on 8531 4900 to discuss any proposed one-off or ongoing support for the youth homelessness service.
