Project I ( is another longitudinal study that focused specifically on youth homelessness in Melbourne which contains similar limitations. 48 The Homelessness Research Seminar was held in Melbourne during April It invited key stakeholders with an interest and commitment to research regarding homelessness to discuss key issues and to shape and inform future national strategies and initiatives for the development coordination and implementation of homelessness research in Australia.
