A Maroochydore site has been identified for the project which will provide self-contained units with wraparound support for young people facing housing insecurity on the Sunshine Coast.
The site is currently being cleared and prepared for construction to start with completion due in late 2028.
Youth foyers offer vulnerable young people aged 16-25 with stable housing in a supported environment while they are learning and earning.
Tenants are required to pay around 25 per cent of their income in rent and receive 24/7 on-site support while they enter education, training or work.
The new youth foyer is part of eight foyers the Crisafulli Government is delivering to help more vulnerable young Queenslanders benefit from this successful evidence-based model.
Youth foyers form a key part of the Government’s plan to deliver 53,500 social and community homes by 2044, including expanded pathways for vulnerable cohorts.
These units are more than just a roof over someone’s head, foyers give young people who are earning or learning the stable foundation they need to build whatever life they aspire to live.
