The Australian Government has provided funding under the 2009-13 National Homelessness Research Agenda to the Swinburne University of Technology to undertake longer term research into homeless youth in the Geelong region of Victoria.
A number of provisional reports will be produced during the life of The Geelong Study. The first of this series is A Review of Victorian Education Initiatives Relating to Youth Homelessness.
