Total funding of $306,769 will be administered across five Hume-based projects to be developed and led by Goonawarra Neighbourhood House, Igbo Association of Victoria Australia, Northern Community Legal Centre, headspace Craigieburn and Hume-Whittlesea Local Learning & Employment Network.

Hume Empowering Communities round two funding applications will open in November . Organisations and incorporated groups from the Hume community are encouraged to apply for funding.
