Nightspot Youth Homelessness Initiative (QLD) |
 Nightspot is an emergency, community placement model that provides respite for ‘low risk’ vulnerable youth in the homes of trained volunteers in the community for 1-3 nights. The Host provides a comfortable bedroom, bathroom & laundry facilities, clothes, an evening meal, breakfast and most importantly, a chance to talk. The next day, the young person is offered pathways out of their situation by being directed towards, and transported to, appropriate services (eg: counselling, family mediation and longer-term accommodation options). Where possible, young people are encouraged to reconcile with family and reconnect with education or work options. Nightspot is operating in Brisbane (Logan).
