We’re building a youth foyer in Cairns to provide a place to stay for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
The development will provide 40 self-contained units for young people aged 16 to 25 years old, who will pay rent, shop and cook for themselves while receiving 24/7 onsite mentoring and support.
All young tenants must commit to employment, education and/or training while they are staying at the youth foyer.
Cairns Youth Foyer is one of 8 new youth foyers planned for Queensland.
We chose Cairns as a youth foyer location as there is a high demand for independent and supportive housing for young people.
The project is now at the final design stage. Consultation with the community has occurred and stakeholders have contributed to the design of the foyer. Construction is due to be completed in 2027.
This will be the fourth youth foyer we’ve developed, with established youth foyers operating in Logan, the Gold Coast, and Townsville.
Two more youth foyers will be built in Hervey Bay and Moreton Bay with further work to be done to identify the other five sites across the state.
Young people receive social and emotional support from an onsite youth service at the foyer. They are taught skills such as budgeting to manage living costs, and how to look after a rental property to prepare them for living independently.
