For a young person experiencing homelessness, finding a safe place to sleep is just the beginning. Orly House, a new home in Melbourne, is giving Jewish young people experiencing homelessness or family breakdown a place to heal while staying connected to their culture and community. SBS speaks with founders Leah Boulton and Susan Barton AM to hear how the new home came about, why culturally responsive care matters and what it means for young people who have previously had to choose between safety and a sense of belonging.
