About HoMie

OUR MISSION

HoMie is a Melbourne-based streetwear label and social enterprise.
100% of HoMie’s profits go towards achieving its mission: to support young people affected by homelessness or hardship.

We do this by running two social impact programs:

The HoMie Pathway Alliance, HoMie’s own accredited retail education and employment program for young people (18-25) affected by homelessness or hardship.
2. HoMie’s VIP Days, where young people are welcomed into our store to shop for free HoMie garments, while enjoying haircuts, beauty services, personal care packs, and lunch with the HoMie team.
