Prevention of Youth Homelessness
Our work includes outreach support aimed at preventing young people from entering the homelessness system for example through the Avalon Youth Hub.
We also undertake active brokerage, which is a short-term tool to help young people access opportunities to gain and maintain stable accommodation. As part of the brokerage service young people can also receive intensive support in areas such as budgeting, health management and job search skills.
In addition, we offer Rent Choice Youth. Click here for eligibility criteria: https://www.facs.nsw.gov.au/housing/factsheets/rent-choice-youth
