About
The Youth Initiative (YI), delivered from MAC Kingswood, is for young people leaving out-of-home care (OOHC) who are likely to be homeless (or at risk of homelessness) when they leave care. Expanding on the current aftercare service by offering a suite of interventions to bridge the gap between Out of Home Care support and independent living, YI activities build the long-term capacity and resilience of young people so that they can be permanently diverted from the homelessness service system.
Who we assist
We assist young people who are between 16-19 years of age exiting the out of home carer services.
Referral process
PYI is a closed referral service. Referrals to the service are completed through the NSW Family and Community Service.
