Improving housing outcomes for young people leaving state out of home care

Summary

This project will explore the effectiveness of current transitional support models in facilitating positive housing outcomes for young people leaving care. In Australia approximately 1,500 people leave state care every year, and are among the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community. The project will examine the housing experiences, needs and outcomes of state care leavers, and develop a best practice framework through consultation with key policy and service provider stakeholders.
