Merri Outreach Support Services (MOSS) Annual Public Meeting 2026

Beyond Housing, Building Belonging

Housing is about more than having a place to live. It is also about connection, inclusion, safety and feeling that you belong. This year's theme is Beyond Housing, Building Belonging. Join us to hear powerful stories of community impact, connection and positive change as we work together to end homelessness and create a more inclusive and supported community. This session provides an opportunity to connect, share ideas, build relationships and explore practical ways of strengthening belonging within our community.

Agenda

A welcoming and meaningful conversation focused on:

• Launch of our Innovate RAP— marking an important step in MOSS’s ongoing commitment to reconciliation, cultural respect and stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

• Local trends & impact — What we are seeing across Darebin and neighbouring northern municipalities, the issues affecting our communities, and where services are making a difference.

• Program updates — A concise look at key MOSS programs, including recent achievements, lessons learned and what is ahead.

• Q&A + networking — An opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas and connect with MOSS staff, partners and community members.
