"How does having a safe, reliable place to call “home” affect the health of
people and communities across generations? We spoke to staff and families at
Yumba-Meta Ltd in Townsville, Queensland to find out.
Yumba-Meta is a community-controlled organisation that has delivered
comprehensive support programs for 50 years to Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people. This includes short-term accommodation, such as for people
experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or people at risk of
incarceration due to intoxication. Medium to long-term housing options include
community home ownership, seniors’ housing, and transitional housing to
facilitate employment, education or to break the cycle of addiction.
Our collaborative research project with Yumba-Meta, which will be released
mid-year for Yumba-Meta’s 50th anniversary, explores the power of home and how
services can support intergenerational wellbeing."
