Youth Foyers change lives. But they alone aren’t enough.

Youth Foyers provide young people facing homelessness a stable home, education and employment pathways, and people who believe in them. After two years, 80% leave into secure housing, employment and education, and 87% feel confident they can reach their goals. But with tens of thousands of young Australians locked out of housing and let down by the systems meant to support them, growing Youth Foyers is only part of the answer.

40,000 young Australians face homelessness every year.

1 in 3 are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

30% of young people leave out-of-home care with no where to go next.

Real pathways out of homelessness mean growing what works and changing what doesn’t — at the same time. So this strategy commits the Foyer movement to three connected priorities, where progress on one strengthens them all.
