Hanover Welfare Services

Hanover is a leading Melbourne-based agency which provides services to people experiencing homelessness or housing crisis. Hanover takes its name from its first location in Hanover Street in Fitzroy, where it began in 1964.

Hanover was one of the first agencies to use research to investigate the causes and consequences of homelessness and to suggest solutions to help alleviate it. The agency is independent; it has no structural links with churches, institutions or governments.
