A vacant building in Melbourne’s CBD will be repurposed for social housing, providing accommodation to dozens of rough sleepers in the heart of the city.
The $24.9m Make Room site will house up to 50 residents for up to 12 months in studio apartments and is scheduled to be completed in late 2024.
City of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp said the project would set a “new standard” for transitional supported accommodation in Victoria. There will be 10 apartments on each of five levels, with each studio apartment including a bedroom, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom.
