Practical support for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness — including short-term and transitional accommodation, case management, and help to build long-term stability.
At Youth Futures, we support young people who are experiencing homelessness or finding it hard to hold onto stable housing.
Whatever the situation, we meet young people where they are — without judgement, and at their pace. Across all our services, we work alongside young people to build stability, confidence, and clear pathways toward long-term housing, education, employment, and community connection.
24/7 Supported Accommodation
Located in Perth’s northern suburbs, each property supports up to six young people at a time, with stays ranging from one night to several months depending on individual circumstances and available housing options.
Young people have access to nutritious meals, warm showers, toiletries, and their own space. Everything needed to stabilise and start planning what comes next.
A Youth Worker is onsite around the clock. Offering consistent support, guidance, and someone to talk to at any time of day or night.
An onsite Case Worker works alongside each young person to identify their goals and plan their next steps toward longer-term housing and independence.
A Wellbeing Worker provides a non-judgmental space to explore emotional wellbeing, coping strategies, and resilience, at a pace that works for each young person.
A Drug Education and Support Worker is also based onsite, supporting young people to explore alcohol and other drug concerns using a harm minimisation approach.
(Transitional Accommodation for young people aged 16–21)
Designed for young people who don’t require 24/7 onsite support, both programs offer structured, consistent guidance while young people develop the skills and confidence needed to sustain their own tenancy.
