About
Home Stretch WA provides young people leaving Out of Home Care with the option to continue to receive support up until the age of 21. The Home Stretch WA model was co-designed with young people with lived experience of transitioning from care, with a particular focus on the needs of young Aboriginal people and their families. The service includes a Transition Coach who works with a young person to provide flexible, one to one support focused on coaching towards independence and financial supports including Invest In Me Funding, Staying on Agreements and Housing Allowances. Mission Australia delivers Home Stretch WA in the South West and Great Southern Regions of Western Australia.
