Youth Links in Noble Park would land $600,000 for a permanent home if the ALP forms government following the Saturday 2 July election.
Labor’s Bruce candidate Julian Hill announced the funding pledge for the South-East Community Links (SECL) support service on Thursday 16 June.
He said Youth Links was running from a leased shop-front.
“SECL will be able to stop paying rent and allocate long-term funding to support programs run in conjunction with other organisations such as City of Greater Dandenong,” Mr Hill said.
“Every month Youth Links sees over 300 young people, engaging in upwards of 1000 face-to-face contacts.”
Youth Links offers help with housing, employment pathways, income, safety and relationships.
A youth worker is on hand every afternoon and computers are available.
