The Eritrean Islamic Society of Australia (ERIS) have an agreement with the Department of Housing that they will manage the facility located at 155/33 Alfred St, North Melbourne.

The Department of Housing has recently informed ERIS that they can no longer manage the facility as allegedly they

weren’t sharing the use of the facility with other members of the community.

We, the undersigned, are concerned community members who urge the Department of Housing to reconsider their

decision and allow ERIS to continue to manage the facility as our local community organisation.

We believe that they are considerate in allowing others to also use the facility and that their activities have a positive

impact on our community.
