This service helps young people aged 16-18 who are experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness upon exiting the justice system, by giving them the support they need to get back on their feet. Young people who are on a community-based order or exiting juvenile detention are able to access the support of a Housing Support Worker who can;

Help them find housing through different pathways
Act as an advocate and provide tenancy support
Teach vital life skills such as cooking, cleaning and budgeting
Support them to address financial hardship and family matters etc.
Once long-term housing is found, the Housing Support Worker will help the young person establish their new home and can continue to provide support for a further 12 months.
