Crisis Shelters

The Accommodation Services area is funded largely through the federal government’s Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) and Crisis Assistance Program (CAP). 

The core objectives of this service area are to provide crisis and transitional support to young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, and to move them towards independence.

This is a regional response to the needs of homeless young people and working with other accommodation service providers, young people have access to a range of supported pathways. Specific initiatives within the accommodation service area are as follows:

• The organisation currently operates two crisis accommodation services for young people throughout the state, one in Caboolture and one on the Sunshine Coast. 
• Our youth crisis accommodation services perform a significant role in meeting the protective needs of young people with histories of relationship stress and family violence, abuse and neglect, substance misuse, mental health and/or behavioural difficulties and associated problems.
