Which services will and won’t be impacted by the refurbishment of The Living Room

As part of the significant refurbishment at the home of The Living Room on Hosier Lane, we are temporarily moving to a pop-up location to ensure we can continue delivering our most critical services to people doing it tough.  

The Living Room will operate via a pop-up site on Bourke Street from Tuesday 14 June until works are completed in September. All other street-based, outreach programs and The Little Social will continue to operate as normal. 

Here’s a list of where and how you will still be able to access our programs and services:
