The YEETI program is now situated at 19 King St, Melbourne and is co-located with the Family Reconciliation and Mediation Program (FRMP). Both programs are now under the management of Mandy Baxter (mbaxter@mcm.org.au - 8625 4476).
The target of the YEETI was to administer just under 2 million dollars in funding for employment, education and training initiatives to 165 young people in the youth housing sector. This target has been exceeded with over 1000 young people being funded to engage or sustain engagement with employment, education or training.
