2023 Annual Report

Gold Coast Project for Homeless Youth Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation that supports young people aged between 16-25 years.

We are a Specialist Homeless Support Service. Our business relates to supporting young people to gain, maintain and sustain tenancies. We aim to reduce and prevent the cycle of homelessness. We partner with our community to raise awareness about Youth Homelessness and collaborate to find solutions. We deliver specific planned activities, programs and follow-up support focusing on life skills to foster independence and sustaining tenancies, health and wellbeing, and social and community engagement.

We believe that Housing First is the best response to support young people to get back on track. We assist young people, and their families where appropriate, to work to resolve the issues that are putting them at risk of homelessness.

We also support young people who are sleeping rough, couch surfing, or living at home.

We provide holistic wrap-around support to ensure young people’s individual needs are heard, identified and supported.

We provide assessment, advice, referral support, brief intervention support, living skill development programs, tenancy skills support and access to accommodation based on availability.
