In 2022, WPI, The Bridge Youth Service and the Property Industry Foundation will be working together to provide homes for young mums. The Bridge support young people in northern Victoria with a wide range of services, including early intervention in mental health and wellbeing, help with housing, school and education support, parenting and family services and mentoring. The Bridge and WPI are committed to working together to deliver homes for young single mums where they can be supported while they adjust to family life, earn a rental history, and continue with their education and employment.

The Bridge have purchased land in Mooroopna in Northern Victoria which is well located in proximity to services, and will grant a long term lease to WPI to develop, own and operate three two-bedroom homes on the site. These homes will be tenanted by clients of The Bridge. Aptly named “The Nest”, the project will create solid foundations for these young women to build happy and healthy lives. The Property Industry Foundation are now actively fundraising for the construction of these homes.
