PROJECT: DIVRS Community Hub
PROJECT TYPE: Community Development
LOCATION: Melbourne, Australia
PARTNER: Hassell, Tract
CLIENT: Darebin Information, Volunteer and Resource Service

Darebin Information, Volunteer and Resource Service (DIVRS) is a volunteer-powered not-for-profit community organisation that provides information, support and advocacy, including a food-sharing program, health services, training pathways and community outreach.

Network Partners Hassell and Tract are helping DIVRS develop a proposal for a new Community Hub in Melbourne's inner north, with cost planning by Slattery and heritage advice by Extent Heritage.

The proposed facility will be an ‘open door’ space for community members to access help for complex and intersecting issues including family violence, housing, financial stress and mental health.
