Melbourne Zero is amplifying the voices of people who have lived through homelessness to both empower story holders and build our community’s understanding of what it means to experience homelessness. 

Here you’ll find the stories of Melburnians who have generously shared their stories to challenge stereotypes, raise awareness, and inspire change. These real-life stories offer a diverse perspective on what it's like to be homeless and provide insight into the unique challenges people face, including how our own words and actions can make a difference. 

Our deepest thanks to Sydney, Beth, Patrick, Susan, Alex and Haryath for their courage and generosity in sharing their stories.
