Fremantle Dockers star midfielder Caleb Serong has reportedly invested $5.6 million to transform a privately purchased residential property into a state-of-the-art shelter for homeless youth, sparking admiration across the AFL community and beyond.
According to early reports, Serong acquired the property earlier this year and has since been working quietly with community leaders, architects, and youth-support organisations to design a facility aimed at providing safety, stability, and long-term development opportunities for vulnerable young people.
The new shelterโset to open in the coming monthsโwill reportedly include emergency accommodation, mental-health support services, classrooms, counselling rooms, and recreational areas. A spokesperson close to the project described it as โa place designed not just for temporary shelter, but for rebuilding lives.โ
Serong, known for his leadership both on and off the field, is expected to make a formal public statement soon. Early comments from community organisations praise the AFL star for taking action during a period where youth homelessness continues to rise nationwide. Several local leaders have already hailed the project as โone of the most meaningful player-led community initiatives in recent years.โ
As anticipation builds for the official launch, fans and supporters across the AFL world have flooded social media with messages of respect, calling Serongโs effort โlife-changing,โ โinspiring,โ and โa legacy far beyond football.โMore updates to follow as the story continues to unfoldโฆ
