40,000 young Australians face homelessness every year.

Crisis services are overstretched. Rents and housing costs are soaring. Too many young people are couch surfing, sleeping rough, or cycling between unsafe places, without the stable base or support every young person deserves.

Without a safe place to live, finishing school, finding work or building independence becomes almost impossible.

Every young person deserves a safe place to live, chances to learn and the support to grow.

Youth Foyers change this.

Breaking cycles of disadvantage…

“Foyer has given me somewhere safe to stay long term where I can prioritise my goals and what I want to achieve. I was able to graduate, and I’m about to start my diploma in community services.”
